Description

Many profiling libraries offer the option to (temporarily) disable or enable profiling, eg. to reduce profiling impact in terms of runtime of output file size, or just to focus on a given part of the code. PSyclone's psydata API provides call to these functionality, and I believe Andy is often using it.

While there is no requirement to support this (atm the corresponding PSyclone's psydata API call just don't do anything), I just wanted to suggest this as a potential enhancement.

Research direction

No file, test, or Vernier entry point is named. Start by inspecting Vernier's profiling controls and the PSyclone psydata API calls; done means temporary disable and enable requests affect profiling rather than being ignored, while preserving normal profiling behavior.
