vlisp-profiler's Introduction

VLispProfiler

VLispProfiler is a tool for AutoCAD to measure the performance of applications built with Visual LISP.

Use this tool to see where your application is spending it's time and guide where you should optimize.

Requires AutoCAD 2011+ Full (not LT) to use.

Features

Easy to use installer that automatically sets up AutoCAD.
One simple to use AutoCAD command: prof.
Profile your LISP files and optionally specify an entry function.
Reported output includes: elapsed time, self-elapsed time, run count, and file position.
Interactive setup program for advanced configurations.
Installs to current user, no admin required.

Get Started

Installing

Download and run the latest installer. See Releases.

Profiling

Open AutoCAD
Type prof
Select a LISP file to profile.
Type in an entry function, leave empty and press Enter if the file doesn't have one.
Observe profiling results.

Profiling the whole file

Use this method when there's no entry function in your file. For example: when (load "file") loads and runs your program.

Profiling from entry function

Use this method when there's an entry function in your file. For example: when (load "file") loads your program and you follow it up with (entry-func) to run your program.

vlisp-profiler's Issues

build/test badge

As a developer
I want to see if the current code is able to be built and test successfully
So that I know the code is ready to go

third party notices

as a good FOSS citizen
i want to show third party notices
so that i may comply with third party licenses

html report with top results

As a viewer
I want to see where my program is spending the most time
So that I can focus on those areas where time is spent

show elapsed in command line

installer

as a lazy user
i want a one-click install process
so that i can profile faster and use the software with ease

release v1

As a user
I want to use this software
So that I can use it

modern installer

As a fancy lazy user
I want an installer with a modern UI
So that it looks more professional

Automated installer.exe pipeline

As the main developer
I want a way to automate the building of new installers
So that I don't have to do it from my own computer every time

include samples

as a novice user of this program
i want sample programs with instructions
so that i can get the hang of the project quicker

remove 'type go!' from profiling

as a user
i do not want to type go! when i need to profile and i want it to run automatically
so that it is less steps for me to get my profiling done

it's required because we call out to the exe to generate the .prof file.
find a way to communicate between the lisp file and the exe

suggestions:

exe creates a file, script looks for that file to be created (and also looks for an error file!)
exe deletes a file, scripts looks for that file to be deleted
communicate via stdin/stdout
communicate via mutex or another IPC
