Two API flavors are available. // // The primary API uses a RAII object to trigger tracing: // // \code // { // TimeTraceScope scope("my_event_name"); // ...my code... // } // \endcode // // If the code to be profiled does not have a natural lexical scope then // it is also possible to start and end events with respect to an implicit // per-thread stack of profiling entries: // // \code // timeTraceProfilerBegin("my_event_name"); // ...my code... // timeTraceProfilerEnd(); // must be called on all control flow paths // \endcode // // Time profiling entries can be given an arbitrary name and, optionally, // an arbitrary 'detail' string. The resulting trace will include 'Total' // entries summing the time spent for each name. Thus, it's best to choose // names to be fairly generic, and rely on the detail field to capture // everything else of interest. // // To avoid lifetime issues name and detail strings are copied into the event // entries at their time of creation. Care should be taken to make string // construction cheap to prevent 'Heisenperf' effects. In particular, the // 'detail' argument may be a string-returning closure: // // \code // int n; // { // TimeTraceScope scope("my_event_name", // [n]() { return (Twine("x=") + Twine(n)).str(); }); // ...my code... // } // \endcode // The closure will not be called if tracing is disabled. Otherwise, the // resulting string will be directly moved into the entry. // // The main process should begin with a timeTraceProfilerInitialize, and // finish with timeTraceProfileWrite and timeTraceProfilerCleanup calls. // Each new thread should begin with a timeTraceProfilerInitialize, and // finish with a timeTraceProfilerFinishThread call. // // Timestamps come from std::chrono::stable_clock. Note that threads need // not see the same time from that clock, and the resolution may not be // the best available. // // Currently, there are a number of compatible viewers: // - chrome://tracing is the original chromium trace viewer. // - http://ui.perfetto.dev is the replacement for the above, under active // development by Google as part of the 'Perfetto' project. // - https://www.speedscope.app/ has also been reported as an option. // // Future work: // - Support akin to LLVM_DEBUG for runtime enable/disable of named tracing // families for non-debug builds which wish to support optional tracing. // - Evaluate the detail closures at profile write time to avoid // stringification costs interfering with tracing. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #ifndef LLVM_SUPPORT_TIMEPROFILER_H #define LLVM_SUPPORT_TIMEPROFILER_H #include "llvm/ADT/STLFunctionalExtras.h" #include "llvm/Support/Error.h" namespace llvm { class raw_pwrite_stream; struct TimeTraceProfiler; TimeTraceProfiler *getTimeTraceProfilerInstance(); /// Initialize the time trace profiler. /// This sets up the global \p TimeTraceProfilerInstance /// variable to be the profiler instance. void timeTraceProfilerInitialize(unsigned TimeTraceGranularity, StringRef ProcName); /// Cleanup the time trace profiler, if it was initialized. void timeTraceProfilerCleanup(); /// Finish a time trace profiler running on a worker thread. void timeTraceProfilerFinishThread(); /// Is the time trace profiler enabled, i.e. initialized? inline bool timeTraceProfilerEnabled() { return getTimeTraceProfilerInstance() != nullptr; } /// Write profiling data to output stream. /// Data produced is JSON, in Chrome "Trace Event" format, see /// https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CvAClvFfyA5R-PhYUmn5OOQtYMH4h6I0nSsKchNAySU/preview void timeTraceProfilerWrite(raw_pwrite_stream &OS); /// Write profiling data to a file. /// The function will write to \p PreferredFileName if provided, if not /// then will write to \p FallbackFileName appending .time-trace. /// Returns a StringError indicating a failure if the function is /// unable to open the file for writing.
