RE: [boost] Boost Profiler Proposal

I have updated the Profiler (and done some testing using Visual C++, 7.1) at http://www.cdiggins.com/profiler/ . I have mostly decided to freeze
Yes. I would use this library. Though, personally, I would like a greater scope of what it does. The details of other things I would like to see from this library or a companion library are here: http://tinyurl.com/5sbyx the
features for the profiler mini-library as described and posted at http://www.cdiggins.com/profiler/ . My question to the group is: would you use this library as it is? If you don't want to mail the group, I would appreciate even just a quick note: yes, no, maybe.
If anyone has a POSIX high-resolution timer modeled on the Boost.Timer concept to share, it would be greatly appreciated! I would also appreciate new profiling policies, to include as examples.
PS: this profiling tool seems to be a natural fit for the Boost.Test macros like BOOST_CHECK_NO_THROW, I currently use something like:
BOOST_PROFILE_AND_CHECK_NO_THROW(TKN) BOOST_CHECK_NO_THROW(BOOST_PROFILE(TKN))

This line particularly inspires me:
* Is capable of parsing C++ code and re-generating an instrumented version of that
The idea of automated instrumentation of code is an interesting one, and is part of a more general problem that I am currently working on: C++ rewriting. I have started work on a C++ pretty-printer, which rips C++ code into an XML format and builds the XML back up as either HTML or C++. We could quite easily introduce new features such as profiling into the code. The only caveat is that I am using my own parsing library YARD, as opposed to Spirit. Stay tuned for progress.
