[Nfd-dev] [EXT] NFD Profiling tool

[Davide Pesavento]

Ahmed,

Block::~Block() doesn't create anything. It's the destructor of the
C++ class "Block", which represents a TLV element in memory. The time
spent in the destructor probably includes memory deallocation. Memory
management in the ndn-cxx library has never been seriously optimized,
so I'm not surprised that this shows up in the profiling results.

Best regards,
Davide
