Progetto Finale Api - Politecnico di Milano - 2022

  • I suggest using Linux to run this project, you may also run this on the WSL like I did. Example code is using ubuntu.
  • You may use the GWSL app to run massif-visualizer and kcachegrind from the WSL
  • If you're on Windows, you may use QCacheGrind as the callgrind output visualizer, instead of kcachegrind

Usage

  • Install gcc, massif-visualizer and kcachegrind
sudo apt install gcc massif-visualizer kcachegrind

  • Open scripts.config to set the file to run, and select the input you want to give to the program (found in tests folder)

  • Run the program and look for differences between the correct output and the current output using diff, printing nothing if the current output is correct

bash execute.sh
  • Analyze and view the memory usage during execution. By default, I set it to include stack memory, but you may open massif.sh and replace --stacks=yes with --pages-as-heap=yes or remove it entirely
bash massif.sh
  • Analyze and view the % of the total execution time each function is taking up
bash callgrind.sh
  • Time the execution with the given input
bash time.sh

Remember the input is received through stdin and the output is written to stdout; configuration for vscode debugging is already provided

If you want to use the GWSL, remember to configure the windows firewall accordingly. This app behaves like an X server, enabling linux under the WSL to output its GUIs to the display. Neat!
