ExProf

Build Status hex.pm version hex.pm downloads

A simple code profiler for Elixir using eprof.

It provides a simple macro as a wrapper for Erlang's :eprof profiler.

Install

Add :exprof to deps section of mix.exs.

  def deps do
    [ {:exprof, "~> 0.2.0"} ]
  end

Usage

import "ExProf.Macro", then use "profile" macro to start profiling. It prints out results, and returns them as list of records, along with the result of the profiled block.

defmodule SampleRunner do
  import ExProf.Macro

  @doc "analyze with profile macro"
  def do_analyze do
    profile do
      :timer.sleep 2000
      IO.puts "message\n"
    end
  end

  @doc "get analysis records and sum them up"
  def run do
    {records, _block_result} = do_analyze
    total_percent = Enum.reduce(records, 0.0, &(&1.percent + &2))
    IO.inspect "total = #{total_percent}"
  end
end

Run

An example to use in iex console.

$ iex -S mix
..
iex(1)> SampleRunner.run

Add a Mix Task

An example to use as mix tasks.

defmodule Mix.Tasks.Exprof do
  @shortdoc "Profile using ExProf"
  use Mix.Task
  import ExProf.Macro

  def run(_mix_args) do
    profile do: do_work(2)
  end

  defp do_work(n) do
    :timer.sleep(n * 1000)
  end
end
