Ship graphviz?

4

We should consider shipping `graphviz` instead of requiring it to be installed. Maybe we can add it to [Yggdrasil](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil)?

Using relative paths should allow you to open a profile produced on a different machine than your own, but still use the source view, which is one of the most...

PProf fails to build `dot` graph if name contains `"`

For example: ```julia julia> function var"#fo\"o#"() peakflops() end #fo"o# (generic function with 1 method) julia> var"#fo\"o#"() 1.8314014985396976e11 julia> Profile.clear() julia> @profile var"#fo\"o#"() 1.7486120937946786e11 julia> pprof(out="var", webport=2232) [ Info: Writing output...

Option to exclude idle threads

`Profile` currently reports all idle threads sitting in `__psynch_cvwait`. So the more threads you are using with Julia, the smaller the percentage of the report your actual work will be....

Unlike `include_string`, `softscope_include_string` doesn't set `jl_filename`

1

I haven't yet found anywhere in normal julia code that this matters yet, but `include_string()` sets the C variable `jl_filename` during its processing, but `softscope_include_string` does not. I'm not sure...

(EDIT: Oops, sorry, I accidentally hit shift-enter while editing the title.) In the following report, PkgCacheInspector shows my 16% of the external methods for my package, MuttsDicts, as belonging to...

Might find some useful analyses in LookingGlass.jl?

Hi @timholy! :) I'm super stoked to see this package, and i want more people to be able to inspect things like this! :) If you haven't already, you might...

I have a profile where i set delay = 1 second. I know the start time. I want to correlate it with a metrics spike I see happening at 11:37....

2-arg show is currently not copy-pasteable.

3

My understanding is that 2-arg `show(::IO, x)` is meant to try to be copy-pasteable as much as possible. It's to this end that people came up with the clever `var""`...

FD{BigInt} operations currently allocate more than necessary due to promotion.

Consider: ```julia julia> @which FD{BigInt,2}(2) + 2 +(x::Number, y::Number) @ Base promotion.jl:410 julia> @code_typed FD{BigInt,2}(2) + 2 CodeInfo( 1 ─ %1 = invoke Base.GMP.MPZ.set_si(10::Int64)::BigInt │ %2 = invoke Base.GMP.bigint_pow(%1::BigInt, 2::Int64)::BigInt...
