Cargo subcommand to profile binaries
NOTE: This subcommand can only be used on Linux machines.
First install valgrind:
$ sudo apt-get install valgrind
Then you can install cargo-profiler via cargo install.
$ cargo install cargo-profiler
Alternatively, you can clone this repo and build the binary from the source.
$ cargo build --release
Now, copy the built binary to the same directory as cargo.
$ sudo cp ./target/release/cargo-profiler $(dirname $(which cargo))/
Cargo profiler currently supports callgrind and cachegrind.
You can call cargo profiler anywhere in a rust project directory with a Cargo.toml.
$ cargo profiler callgrind
$ cargo profiler cachegrind --release
You can also specify a binary directly:
$ cargo profiler callgrind --bin $PATH_TO_BINARY
To specify command line arguments to the executable being profiled, append them
after a --:
$ cargo profiler callgrind --bin $PATH_TO_BINARY -- -a 3 --like this
You can chose to keep the callgrind/cachegrind output files using the --keep option
$ cargo profiler callgrind --keep
You can limit the number of functions you'd like to look at:
$ cargo profiler callgrind --bin ./target/debug/rsmat -n 10

With cachegrind, you can also sort the data by a particular metric column:
$ cargo profiler cachegrind --bin ./target/debug/rsmat -n 10 --sort dr
