edit: forums have since been deprecated, use StackOverflow for questions.
I’ve opened a forum for SamplingProfiler, destined for peer support and bug reports:
https://delphitools.info/forums/
I don’t have any previous experience with freeforums.org as a host, but I don’t expect the traffic to be huge, so it’ll probably be good enough.
Forums are now hosted locally.
Another channel through which you can reach me would be via posting in the CodeGear newsgroups.
One issue when trying to profile a “live” application is that you may be getting a lot of noise, resulting from a particular library or section of code being executed from multiple contexts.
You may also be after profiling only one particular case, and want some reproducibility between runs… in short: you want a finer grained control on when or for what the profiling will take place.
SamplingProfiler comes as a stand alone-application, but it’s also ready for integration in the IDE via the Tools menu. Go to the Tools menu configuration and add an entry for SamplingProfiler. Set the parameters field to $EXENAME. Voilà!
…after having long been a ghost in the Borland attachments newsgroup, this is an attempt for a more permanent home for SamplingProfiler. Hopefully you’ll find news and download links here.
The current released version is 1.5.2 and available from Torry.ru.
A version 1.6.0 is happening, at this point it’s just a version compiled with D2009. If you are interested in testing it, leave comments here!
