Visual Profiler tool support

[dzhwinter]

this feature always contains in many modern programming editors, And it is useful in daily code polish work when ask to optimal the performance. If there is an common layer that one can add third-party profiling tool into spacemacs without any knowledge,about elisp., which will be great.

e.g python https://github.com/what-studio/profiling
e.g c# https://github.com/what-studio/profiling
e.g go https://github.com/zimbatm/direnv

I'm not quite sure how this should work since the profilers you linked have quite different setup/calling procedures. I doubt that this could be generalized in a way that makes it possible to add profilers without knowledge of elisp.

Regarding the python profiler: have you tried using the python -m profiling profile your-program.py in compile mode? Does this work interactively?

@dzhwinter Do you have examples of editors where this feature is available so I can try it ?

here is my code

I'm explore the possible to integrated performance and diagnose tools in spacemacs.
take those profiling tools just for example.
Github reject my screenshot uploading request again and again. Only can i post an example here.
http://www.zhihu.com/question/27768721/answer/38014129 forget the chinese, just take a look at the image.
editors like eclipse or visual studio both have this feature.
for c#, c++, in Visual Studio 2015 community(free), clink on Performance and diagnose. it only support MS language c#, of course, c++.
for cuda

Actually, profile tools have little value in python, but it really matters when improve c++ and cuda interact with hardware language code.
So, my question is, how to hook c++ or cuda profiling tools in spacemacs? or intergrated them in?

As for C/C++ profiling, Emacs does not go that far. Maybe you should have a look at a dedicated application Kcachegrind or gprof that comes with GNU Binutils then use gprof2dot to view it in graph format. I don't see any difference except you have to use two OS windows.

As it's a 4 months old discussion that nobody is looking at anymore, it will not be answered nor continued. I'm closing it then, but in any case feel free to open a new one to re-up the discussion ☺️
