*hidden-functions*

List of the names of functions that are not displayed in profiler output. The default list is quite long. You can modify this list at any time to control the display detail. Setting the list to nil means all functions not considered as associated with a package listed in *hidden-packages* will be used for display.

Because the default list may change faster than the documentation is updated, we do not give it here. To find the default, look at the value of the variable in a fresh Lisp.

You can add a single function (in this example, named by the symbol foo) to the list with the following form:

(push 'foo *hidden-functions*)

You can remove a single function with the form:

(setq prof:*hidden-functions* (delete 'foo *hidden-functions*)

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-space-functions*, *significance-threshold*, 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.
