How to profile only the required functions?

[winster]

I know the dumpProfile function which lists the top 100 (depends on the count you give) functions that took most elapsed time.

Can I specify the exact functions to which the profiling has to run?

Look at these methods:

// property methods filtered out by default

• (void)includeProperties:(BOOL)include;

// include/exclude methods matching pattern

• (BOOL)includeMethods:(NSString *)pattern;
• (BOOL)excludeMethods:(NSString *)pattern;
• (BOOL)excludeTypes:(NSString *)pattern;

// trace class down to NSObject

• (void)traceClass:(Class)aClass;

// trace class down to "levels" of superclases

• (void)traceClass:(Class)aClass levels:(int)levels;

// trace all classes in app/bundle/framework

• (void)traceBundleContainingClass:(Class)aClass;

// "kitchen sink" trace all classes matching pattern

• (void)traceClassPattern:(NSString )pattern excluding:(NSString )exclusions;

// trace instance but only for methods in aClass

• (void)traceInstance:(id)instance class:(Class)aClass;

    [Xtrace includeMethods:@"^simple"];
    [Xtrace traceClass:[XRAppDelegate class]];

Above worked for me. Thanks :)
