An internal perf tools for rust programs.
Documentation

pprof

pprof is a cpu profiler which can be easily integrated into a rust program.

Usage

First, get a guard to start profiling. Profiling will continue until this guard was dropped.

let guard = pprof::ProfilerGuard::new(100).unwrap();

During the profiling time, you can get report with guard.

if let Ok(report) = guard.report().build() {
    println!("report: {}", &report);
};

Display was implemented for Report. It will print a human-readable stack counter report. Here is an example:

Flamegraph

pprof = { version = "0.3", features = ["flamegraph"] }

If flamegraph feature is enabled, you can generate flamegraph from report. Report struct has a method flamegraph which can generate flamegraph and write it into a Write.

if let Ok(report) = guard.report().build() {
    let file = File::create("flamegraph.svg").unwrap();
    report.flamegraph(file).unwrap();
};

Here is an example of generated flamegraph:
