<p>A method of controlling profiling comprises the steps of: storing in a memory (102) a plurality of path patterns (MCR1 to MCR3) each constituted by, as variables, data for specifying at least the region to be profiled; storing in another memory (101) profiling data including call commands (MCC1 to MCC3) for calling out predetermined path patterns and real numbers; reading out the profiling data block-by-block to control profiling; reading out, when a path pattern call command is read out, a predetermined path pattern from the memory (102) as well as substituting the real number for the variable to obtain the region to be profiled; and effecting profiling of the obtained region in accordance with the read-out path pattern. </p> |
