Adding profiling support to GHCJS -- JavaScript backend for GHC

by Ömer Sinan Ağacan for haskell.org

Glasgow Haskell Compiler(GHC) supports profiling. When programs are run in profiling mode, an output file that shows run times and memory allocations of specific pieces of code are printed to a file by the runtime system. This feature is currently missing in JavaScript backend for GHC, GHCJS. In this project, we aim to fix this by implementing profiling support for GHCJS.
