Open Source C++ Profiling Software

OProfile is a low-overhead, transparent profiler for Linux, capable of instruction-grain profiling of all processes, shared libraries, the kernel and device drivers, via the hardware performance counters.

(Diver is in the process of being moved to GitHub. Please find us at https://github.com/thechiselgroup/Diver. Support requests & messages sent here may never be seen.) Dynamic Interactive Views For Reverse Engineering. Div/er is a set of Eclipse Plugins that aid developers in understanding software. It uses dynamic analysis and reverse engineering to offer views and filters that aid comprehension and discovery.

Luke StackWalker is a GUI-based C/C++ source code profiler for Windows. It samples your application's stack while the application is running to find out where the application spends most of its time.

Cinemagoer is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database about movies, people, characters and companies. Platform-independent, it can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local copy of the whole db.

SLOCCount is an easy-to-use tool that counts Source Lines of Code (SLOC). It auto-determines the language(s) (inc. C, C++, Ada, Assembly, shell, COBOL, C#, Fortran, Haskell, Java, LISP/Scheme, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL). It also estimates cost & time.

The fastest malloc we've seen; works particularly well with threads and STL. Also: thread-friendly heap-checker, heap-profiler, and cpu-profiler.

This project born a few years ago when I encountered a fatal bug on a production environment, unfortunately not replicable on my development machine. I spent many time finding a solution, using also freeware and commercial third-party tools and libraries, but none helped me because the bug crashed the process, and no of the above tools could be able to catch the exception before the process dying. Also, it was not possible to install a development environment onto the production machines, so the only solution was to develop a debugger which didn't need any user/developer interaction. I used many open source resources, then I decided to make the Bug Finder an open source project. It is built over a pluggable architecture to support other languages different from Borland Delphi (the one I used to develop my faulting application and the Bug Finder too). Here is the article http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/602794/Bug-Finder-a-real-Win32-extensible-passive-debugge .

Developer tool for automatic runtime tracing software errors with various resources. Number of resources virtually unlimited.

Open|SpeedShop is an open source multi platform Linux performance tool which is targeted to support performance analysis of applications running on both single node and large scale IA64, IA32, EM64T, AMD64, PPC, Blue Gene, ARM and Cray platforms.

ParTools allows the interactive analysis of a C program execution profile and data dependencies to facilitate the discovery and selection of suitable parallelization candidates in a manual parallelization process. The flow does not assume any specific parallelization technique, thus it can be broadly applied. The original (serial) C source is automatically annotated to trace the execution profile and data dependencies at run-time. The annotated program is then executed using a significant (but small) data set selected by the developer. The data collected is cross-referenced with the original source and can be interactively analyzed graphically to determine the best parallelization candidates and techniques.

Tool for monitoring of OCI client applications [f.e.: TOAD/TOra, or any OCI-based fat client] interaction with Oracle Database. Monitors SQL statements and values passed/fetched between client application and RDBMS. Consists of simple and nice GUI [C#] and events handler [C++] with quite a lot of OCI hacking. Interface between handlers and tool's GUI is through tailing of XML "pipeline" files in $HOME/.ocimonitor directory. Tool is quite similar to Quest SQLMonitor, which is unable to trace values.

'Sleepy' is a non-invasive profiler for the Windows platform that allows statistical profiling of applications through sampling the instruction pointer register. Sleepy presents results in a GUI built with wxWindows.

Library for dynamic tuning of program parameters for best performance of program.

This project is now maintained at GitHub: https://github.com/DigitalInBlue/Celero Celero is a cross-platform open source C++ benchmarking library. Written with an API similar to Google Test, Celero utilizes C++11 features, offers tested benchmarking capabilities with microsecond precision, baselining, fixtures, and easy test setup. Use the baseline feature to measure/benchmark algorithm performance against a known case to more accurately rate performance of solutions.

Dynamic Probe Class Library (DPCL) is an object based C++ class library that provides the necessary infrastructure to allow tool developers and sophisticated tool users to build parallel and serial tools through technology called dynamic instrumentation.

A simple, cross platform performance monitoring application specifically designed to be used with nVidia's instrumented driver and the NVPerfSDK to give a graphical representation of internal GPU counters. Support for non-GPU counters is also available.

What is QProf ? QProf is a visual tool for developers, which displays the execution profiling output generated by code profilers. The output of profilers being usually difficult to read (beyond the flat profile information), QProf presents the information in list- or tree-views that make the information very easy to understand. This project was ported from KProf (Qt3/KDE) project.

This patches game executables in memory to improve performance / "stutter". Supported games: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas.

The Artemus Project aims to create tools for the analysis of C# and PowerPC assembly code on the Xbox 360 using XNA Game Studio. These tools will allow XNA Game Studio developers to identify sections of code that may negatively impact performance.

IA-32/64 (x86) CPU Virtualization library.

CQSAT is a powerful, comprehensive and extensible framework for static analysis of program source code and detection of software defects.

This is a profile tool, it will analyze your source code and give you data to measure the quality of the project you are doing.

DbgProfiler provides an easy mechanism for profiling certain hotspots of an application by just adding a few macros to the C++ source code. A hierarchy of the callers and callees is generated automatically and allows a detailed analysis of the results.
