luatrace
A Lua module for tracing script execution, profiling performance, and analyzing code coverage with nanosecond-resolution timers.
What is luatrace?
luatrace is a Lua module for tracing script execution, profiling performance, and analyzing code coverage. It collects detailed timing and execution data by leveraging Lua's debug hooks, allowing developers to identify bottlenecks and understand code behavior. The tool supports high-resolution timers and works with both standard Lua and LuaJIT.
Lua developers and engineers who need to profile performance, analyze code coverage, or debug complex execution flows in their Lua scripts or applications.
Developers choose luatrace for its line-level tracing granularity, support for coroutines and error handling, and high-resolution timing across multiple platforms, providing deeper insights than basic profilers.
