The value of this variable should be a number between 0.0 and 1.0. It is used as a significance threshold by the profiler display functions, show-call-graph and show-flat-profile. Functions which contribute less than the significance threshold are not displayed. This allows the profiler display functions to suppress reporting of functions whose total contribution is considered insignificant in the total profile data sample. Comparison is made between the value of this variable and the ratio of the sum of the function and all of its callees, recursively and the total data recorded in the whole profile sample. The initial value of this variable is 0.01.
This variable only affects display of profiler data, not the collection of data. If you want to see more or less, redisplay after resetting this and other profiler display variables as desired.
The value of this variable and the other profiler display
variables, *hidden-packages*, *hidden-functions*, *hidden-space-functions*,
and *fractional-significance-threshold*, can
be reset to their initial values by reset-profiler-display-defaults.
See profiling.htm for general information on profiling. Note that the profiler is not available with some Allegro CL products.
The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
