Overview
LuaProfiler is a function profiler designed to help find bottlenecks in your Lua program.

It will generate a log of all your function calls and their respective running times. You can import the log into a spreadsheet for further analysis.

More information about LuaProfiler can be found at: http://luaprofiler.luaforge.net/

LuaProfiler is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.1.

Download
A zip file containing the compiled LuaProfiler dll can be found in this listing.

Installation
Here is how to make the LuaProfiler module available to your AutoPlay Media Studio 8.0 project:

1. Download the LuaProfiler module and extract it to a temporary location.

2. Copy the profiler.dll file to your project's Scripts folder.

3. Add the following require to your project, e.g. in Global Functions:
require("profiler")

Usage
The LuaProfiler functions are documented here: http://luaprofiler.luaforge.net/manual.html

The module provides two functions:

profiler.start([filename])
Starts the profiler using the optional filename as the log file.

profiler.stop()
Stops the profiler.

Note: the LuaProfiler site mentions a summary.lua script, which is located along with the source code for the module in a separate download. Unfortunately, this script seems to be incomplete and produces errors when executed on a system with Lua for Windows installed.
