Correct, but not to this level. For instance, the execution flow can be
interactive (in fact all the data can be controlled while the program is
executing). Also you actually do not have to generate profiled code.

For instance you could have a list of selected functions that turn a
different colour based on their call frequency in relation to other
functions in real time. Think of something like top or sar, but for
function calls rather than system resources/processes.
