I’d like to profile the performance of my cmake ninja build. To see how I can improve my build/linker speed.
Ideally I’d like to be able to distinguish compile vs linker time. Because my project is being bottlenecked at the linker phase.
Thoughts?
EDIT: (I’m using MSVC as my compiler)
Ninja writes a .ninja_log file where each build step is recorded. You can then convert that log file using https://github.com/nico/ninjatracing to a format that can be read by Chrome’s about:tracing utility.
.ninja_log
about:tracing
I hope this helps.
Cool I didn’t know that Ninja did that!
I guess it makes sense this type of thing is dependent on the generator you use.
Seems like a lot of effort to make that sort of thing cross platform and user friendly in cmake.
