Re: [Patch, Profiler] Profiling of operators

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

Hi, Daniel. I've pushed your changes, with a slight change in the
comments, to slightly redundantly include what you said about the
entanglement of the boolean operators.

It was very interesting to see that in the demo code, op \ is the
second largest CPU hog. From the sample profiler output we had before,
I don't see a clear indication that Matlab is able to do operators.

A few questions...

This worries me a little. Is this no significant speed penalty on the
profiler? Quis profiliet ipsos profiles? Who profiles the profilers?
;-)

I couldn't notice a speed difference, but perhaps you could explain to
me in general. Will the profiling code affect execution speed while
the profiler is not active?

Also, how are you coming along with anonymous functions? Is there
something you need help with?

Thanks,
