How to use
fn my_function() {
puffin::profile_function!();
...
if ... {
puffin::profile_scope!("load_image", image_name);
...
}
}
The Puffin macros write data to a thread-local data stream. When the outermost scope of a thread is closed, the data stream is sent to a global profiler collector. The scopes are pretty light-weight, costing around 50-200 ns.
You have to turn on the profiler before it captures any data with a call to puffin::set_scopes_on(true);. When the profiler is off the profiler scope macros only has an overhead of 1 ns on an M1 MacBook Pro (plus some stack space).
Once per frame you need to call puffin::GlobalProfiler::lock().new_frame();.
Remote profiling
You can use puffin_http to send profile events over TCP to puffin_viewer. This is as easy as:
fn main() {
let server_addr = format!("127.0.0.1:{}", puffin_http::DEFAULT_PORT);
let _puffin_server = puffin_http::Server::new(&server_addr).unwrap();
eprintln!("Run this to view profiling data: puffin_viewer {server_addr}");
puffin::set_scopes_on(true);
…
// You also need to periodically call
// `puffin::GlobalProfiler::lock().new_frame();`
// to flush the profiling events.
}
egui integration
To view the profile data in-game you can use puffin_egui.
If you are using eframe you can look at this example.
