I was wondering if anyone has written D code to access the x86
performance counters, to get information such as the number of
cache misses and cycle count.
Intel made available the source of their performance counter
monitor, which runs as a service and can be interacted with from
a client program running in the user space. PAPI is a big API and
it would be a lot of work to write bindings in D. Writing a D
application that talks to PCM should be fairly straightforward.
