Simple profiling support package for Go
go get github.com/davecheney/profile
Enabling profiling in your application is as simple as one line at the top of your main function
import "github.com/davecheney/profile"
func main() {
defer profile.Start(profile.CPUProfile).Stop()
...
}What to profile is controlled by the *profile.Config value passed to profile.Start. A nil Config is the same as choosing all the defaults. By default no profiles are enabled.
import "github.com/davecheney/profile"
func main() {
cfg := profile.Config{
MemProfile: true,
ProfilePath: ".", // store profiles in current directory
NoShutdownHook: true, // do not hook SIGINT
}
// p.Stop() must be called before the program exits to
// ensure profiling information is written to disk.
p := profile.Start(&cfg)
...
}Several convenience package level values are provided for cpu, memory, and block (contention) profiling.
For more complex options, consult the documentation on the profile.Config type. Enabling more than one profile at once may cause your results to be less reliable as profiling itself is not without overhead.
