limited callgrind parser in scheme

limited callgrind parser in scheme

[Andy Wingo]

Hey all,

I wrote a parser for the callgrind profiling format in Guile Scheme. I
did so because I wanted a more gprof-like output than callgrind_annotate
gives, and because the robots that control my brain told me to.

It's not perfect by any means; it only parses callgrind files with one
event, for example, and requires the "name compressed" format, as
valgrind --tool=callgrind emits. But I post it to these lists because it
might be useful code for someone to use.

It outputs data like this:

cumulative   self      total
 percent    percent    calls    file:function
   17.81     15.94       4200   gc-card.c:scm_i_sweep_card[/opt/guile/lib/libguile.so.17.0.1]
 1272.79      7.47      74218   eval.c:ceval[/opt/guile/lib/libguile.so.17.0.1]
    7.13      7.13     491863   ???:pthread_getspecific[/lib/libpthread-2.5.so]
    6.19      6.19     191068   ???:pthread_mutex_lock[/lib/libpthread-2.5.so]
    7.23      6.08     227140   ports.c:scm_getc[/opt/guile/lib/libguile.so.17.0.1]
    4.07      4.07     191067   ???:__pthread_mutex_unlock_usercnt[/lib/libpthread-2.5.so]
   51.90      3.98      71290   gc-mark.c:scm_gc_mark_dependencies[/opt/guile/lib/libguile.so.17.0.1]
   55.57      3.56     272312   gc-mark.c:scm_gc_mark[/opt/guile/lib/libguile.so.17.0.1]
   28.21      2.92      93130   strings.c:scm_i_string_writable_chars[/opt/guile/lib/libguile.so.17.0.1]
    6.25      1.74      82043   pairs.c:scm_cons[/opt/guile/lib/libguile.so.17.0.1]

And so on. As you can see it does not detect cycles; that would be an
interesting extension, but I have not yet found a useful way of breaking
cycles in C-based interpreted languages, so I currently have no need to
implement it.

Enjoy,

Andy.
