Profiling Rust Applications

Profiling performance

Using perf:

$ perf record -g binary
$ perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | rust-unmangle | flamegraph.pl > flame.svg

NOTE: See @GabrielMajeri's comments below about the -g option.

Motivation

  • expression-oriented programming one of the great advances of FP
  • expressions plug together like legos, making more malleable programming experience in-the-small

Examples

Write in an expression-oriented style, scoping variables as locally as possible:

function doHash(str, seed) {
var m = 0x5bd1e995;
var r = 24;
var h = seed ^ str.length;
var length = str.length;
var currentIndex = 0;
while (length >= 4) {
var k = UInt32(str, currentIndex);
