Assorted -b issues #96

I of course may be wrong but it at least looks like -b breaks --view, reading the .prof output otherwise and the documentation regarding needing to use it is confusing to beginners.

Are you trying to do line-profiling or regular function-profiling?

rkern commented 7 years ago

Well, since your example has no function calls inside the @profiled function, I assume line-profiling. You need to use the -l option for line-profiling. kernprof handles both, but function-profiling by default.
