Profiling data

Post by Mr. Strange »

I want to be able to profile the performance of my application. Specifically, I want:

1 - frame rate display.
2 - allocated memory information.
3 - callback with the name of the particular function I'm spending most of my time in. (Or just "a lot" of time in.)
4 - information about the number of times each function runs during a unit of time.

Anyone tackled these tasks yet in a love app?

we did some profile code in lua:

http://zwischenwelt.org/trac/lugre/brow ... rofile.lua (MIT License)

to display function call statistics

Code: Select all

StartGlobalProfiler()
StopGlobalProfiler()
GlobalProfilerOutput()
to measure a certain area.

Code: Select all

m = MakeProfiler()
m.StartSection("1")
m.StartSection("2")
m.StartSection("3")
m.FinishAndPrint()
