Control profiling of @value{GDBN}.
Profiling will be disabled until you use the @samp{maint set profile}
command to enable it. When you enable profiling, the system will begin
collecting timing and execution count data; when you disable profiling or
exit @value{GDBN}, the results will be written to a log file. Remember that
if you use profiling, @value{GDBN} will overwrite the profiling log file
(often called @file{gmon.out}). If you have a record of important profiling
data in a @file{gmon.out} file, be sure to move it to a safe location.
Configuring with @samp{--enable-profiling} arranges for @value{GDBN} to be
compiled with the @samp{-pg} compiler option.
