Rend3 vs Tracy - versions

[John-Nagle]

This is just for documentation.

Tracy, the profiling system, had some breaking changes after version 0.12. To make it work again with Rend3, here's what seems to be needed.

The main program must start the Tracy client explicitly.

fn main() {
    #[cfg(feature = "tracy")]
    let _client = tracy_client::Client::start();    // enable profiler if "tracy" feature is on
   ...

In older versions of the Tracy client, just including the Tracy client turned on Tracy.

Cargo.toml

[features]
#   Feature "tracy" enables profiling with Tracy
tracy = ["tracy-client", "profiling/profile-with-tracy"]

[dependencies]
tracy-client = {version = "0.13", optional = true }
profiling = { version = "1", default-features = false }

Tracy-release (the profiler tool)

Use version 0.8.1. Older versions will not work.
