Hello, I'm desperately trying to profile my application, like I used to do with other languages where I could output some file I could pass to kcachegrind which would show me when and where the runtime executed my code.
I'm running Ubuntu or Debian VM, whatever I've tried several methods: - Using dtrace on SmartOS: OK I can run dtrace, but I'm absolutely lost on SmartOS and I need many bricks like Redis and MongoDB I'm not sure how to install properly (I've compiled everything, which was a pita). Plus I'm not a sysadmin, which makes me waste ages each time I need to configure anything. Not forgetting the most recent provided zone (node-1.3.3) includes node v0.6.8. Dafuq ? - Using node --prof seemed very promising: simple, everything is embedded, cool :) I can generate a v8.log, OK. But then when I run "deps/v8/tools/linux-tick-processor" on it, I get no output, just an exit code 126. No idea what it means, I couldn't find information about this :( - Using valgrind I can output a callgrind file I can then use with kcachegrind. It's cool and I get real values, I can practically see the call chain, but I can't see my real function names. Instead I get some hexadecimal names, v8:: and node:: internals. That makes it quite useless for me :( - nodetime is great, but I'd really like a tool that doesn't rely on external service. Even if I finally stick with this solution, I need to have an alternative. Does someone know where error 126 comes from in linux-tick-processor ? Does what I'm looking for only exist: a profiler that would output stack and durations with the actual function names ? And easy to use on Linux x] Thanks a lot for all the information you can provide! I really want to get through that this time ;) -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
