Subject: bug#30491: 26.0; (elisp) `Profiling'
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2018 10:26:50 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40dde7d2-c8ad-4e99-8d2c-2b62a40aa03c@default> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3f7c7912-3f13-4644-a1e1-5310cc1250c8@default>
Other UX problems I see with `profiler-report-mode'. #1 is the
greatest annoyance, to me.
1. There should be an easy way to expand the tree space horizontally,
to eliminate eliding (`...'). When I use the profiler the code
that I really want to see is too often completely missing - it's
hidden by `...'. How to show it?
To work around this limitation I found myself tweaking variables
`profiler-report-(cpu|memory)-line-format' to increase the `left'
value, which is ridiculous.
Is there a better way to expand/expose the elided entries?
I was hoping that maybe command `profiler-report-expand-entry'
would do the job, but it doesn't. Expanding for that command
means exposing but not widening the field (column) so that an
elided entry is shown.
2. Command `profiler-report-expand-entry' with a prefix arg does
not do what its doc string says - it does not expand the whole
subtree. It expands the subtree at point only if the current
line has a `+' sign. So if the current line has `-' instead,
and if some lines under it (in its subtree) have `+', those
`+' lines are not expanded.
I think it should do what its doc says, or at least that some
command should do that.
3. Commands `profiler-find-profile(-other-(window|frame))' should
maybe be bound to keys. They complement function
`profiler-report-write-profile'. They should at least be added
to menu-bar menu `Profiler'. They let you move to a different
(saved) profiler report.
