\item Chapter~\ref{quicklook}, \emph{\nameref{quicklook}}, gives a short description of what Tracy is and how it works.
\item Chapter~\ref{firststeps}, \emph{\nameref{firststeps}}, shows how the profiler can be integrated into your application, and how to build the graphical user interface (section~\ref{buildingserver}). At this point you will be able to establish a connection from the profiler to your application.
\item Chapter~\ref{client}, \emph{\nameref{client}}, provides information on how to instrument your application, in order to retrieve useful profiling data.
\item Chapter~\ref{client}, \emph{\nameref{client}}, provides information on how to instrument your application, in order to retrieve useful profiling data. This includes description of the C API (section~\ref{capi}), which enables usage of Tracy in any programming language.
\item Chapter~\ref{capturing}, \emph{\nameref{capturing}}, goes into more detail on how the profiling information can be captured and stored on disk.
\item Chapter~\ref{analyzingdata}, \emph{\nameref{analyzingdata}}, guides you through the graphical user interface of the profiler.
\item Chapter~\ref{csvexport}, \emph{\nameref{csvexport}}, explains how to export some zone timing statistics into a CSV format.

\subsection{Naming threads}
\label{namingthreads}
Remember to set thread names for proper identification of threads. You must use the functions exposed in the \texttt{tracy/common/TracySystem.hpp} header to do so, as the system facilities typically have limited functionality.
Remember to set thread names for proper identification of threads. You should do so by using the function \texttt{tracy::SetThreadName(name)} exposed in the \texttt{tracy/common/TracySystem.hpp} header, as the system facilities typically have limited functionality.
If context switch capture is active, Tracy will try to capture thread names through operating system data. This is only a fallback mechanism and it shouldn't be relied upon.

If you are using MSVC, you will need to disable the \emph{Edit And Continue} feature, for the C API to work\footnote{There's no such requirement for C++ API.}. To do so, open the project properties and go to \emph{C/C++\textrightarrow General\textrightarrow Debug Information Format} and make sure \emph{Program Database for Edit And Continue (/ZI)} is \emph{not} selected.

\subsubsection{Setting thread names}
To set thread names (section~\ref{namingthreads}) using the C API you should use the \texttt{TracyCSetThreadName(name)} macro.
\subsubsection{Frame markup}
To mark frames, as described in section~\ref{markingframes}, use the following macros:
