A source code instrumenting profiler for Delphi applications to find bottlenecks and improve performance.
GpProfile is a source code instrumenting profiler designed specifically for Delphi developers. It helps identify performance bottlenecks by instrumenting Delphi projects, enabling detailed execution time measurements with minimal performance impact on the instrumented application.
Delphi developers working on applications from Delphi 2 to the latest versions, who need to profile and optimize code performance.
Developers choose GpProfile for its low performance overhead during instrumentation, comprehensive support for modern Delphi features like Unicode and high DPI, and its straightforward, three-step instrumentation process that integrates directly with Delphi project files.
Gpprof with unicode support and new features.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Ensures compatibility with modern Delphi versions and provides a scalable, user-friendly interface, as highlighted in the key features for enhanced usability.
Minimizes impact on instrumented applications, allowing accurate profiling without significant slowdown, a core feature emphasized in the README.
Handles project defines to parse multi-target codebases, making it versatile for complex Delphi projects with different build configurations.
Uses NameThreadForDebugging() to trace thread names in results, aiding in profiling multi-threaded applications, as specified in the features.
Instrumentation necessitates adding special calls to procedures, which is intrusive and requires recompilation, unlike non-invasive profiling tools.
Only supports Delphi projects, making it unsuitable for mixed-language environments or developers working with other programming frameworks.
The README provides minimal guidance with no extensive tutorials, which might hinder users in advanced scenarios or troubleshooting.
Requires copying include directories or modifying search paths, adding complexity compared to more integrated profiling solutions.
