jointprof 0.0-1

Initial release

  • Proof of concept.
  • Functions start_profiler() and stop_profiler() to initialize and terminate joint profiling.
    • Daisy-chain SIGPROF handlers, the gperftools profiler offers a filter which can be used to sneak in the call to the original handler installed by Rprof().
  • Function get_profiler_traces() returns joint profiling data.
    • Parsing gperftools data with a bleeding-edge version of pprof (needs -traces switch), Ubuntu binary included.
    • Parsing Rprof data with a call to an unexported profvis function.
  • Convenience function show_profiler_pdf() shows a PDF of the gperftools data.
