|
vx.xx.x (xxxx-xx-xx)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- Enabled workaround for MSVC runtime library SNAFU, which manifested with
|
|
the profiler executables crashing at startup inside mutex code.
|
|
- CPU topology data now includes CPU die information.
|
|
- Clients running under Wine will now report that in the trace info.
|
|
- Added flame graph.
|
|
- The Git ref information for the build is now included in the about dialog.
|
|
- Added support for clipboard copy and paste on Wayland.
|
|
- The welcome dialog client address entry field will now trim the entered
|
|
address, so that stray spaces at the start and the end are removed. This
|
|
should reduce the amount of user precision required when copy pasting the
|
|
address from somewhere else.
|
|
- Metal GPU profiling is now available.
|
|
- Profiling zones can now optionally inherit their parent color.
|
|
- It is no longer needed to have up-to-date copy of wayland-protocols
|
|
installed. CMake will download the required version from GitHub.
|
|
- Added option to show the top inline in symbol statistics list in stead of
|
|
the symbol name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.11.1 (2024-08-22)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- Utilities import-chrome and import-fuchsia now live together in the import
|
|
directory.
|
|
- Added TRACY_VERBOSE to available CMake options.
|
|
- It is now possible to set TRACY_SAMPLING_HZ via a environment variable.
|
|
- Thread group hints can be now used to group threads together in the
|
|
profiler UI.
|
|
- Limit Lua file names to 255 characters, as the source string can contain
|
|
the whole script, if loaded with loadstring().
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.11.0 (2024-07-16)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support for pre-0.9 traces has been dropped.
|
|
- The old server-side build system has been replaced by CMake. The client
|
|
integration is not affected. Refer to the manual for details.
|
|
- Most importantly, a known version of the capstone library is now
|
|
downloaded from GitHub. You will need to have git installed for this
|
|
to work (there is a CMake option to use the capstone installed on the
|
|
system, as was done previously).
|
|
- Various Meson fixes.
|
|
- Proper way of loading Vulkan calibrated timestamps extension.
|
|
- Fixed C API support for GPU tracing when on demand mode is enabled.
|
|
- Added a way to resynchronize CPU and GPU timestamps.
|
|
- Using calibrated contexts should always be preferred.
|
|
- Each synchronization event requires a sync of CPU and GPU, which is
|
|
something you always want to avoid.
|
|
- This is not exposed as an easy-to-use API available through the GPU
|
|
wrappers.
|
|
- Added TracyIsStarted macro to check if the profiler has been started.
|
|
Using this functionality only makes sense in the manual lifetime mode,
|
|
and will always return true in any other mode of operation.
|
|
- Added basic QNX support.
|
|
- Zmmword is now recognized as an assemble size directive.
|
|
- Libunwind can be used for call stack capture on Linux if you build with
|
|
the TRACY_LIBUNWIND_BACKTRACE define.
|
|
- Preloading symbols for all modules on Windows, which is always performed
|
|
on program init, and which can be quite slow, may now be omitted through
|
|
the TRACY_NO_DBGHELP_INIT_LOAD define. In this mode, symbols will be
|
|
loaded as needed.
|
|
- Validation of discontinuous frames has been disabled in on-demand mode.
|
|
It's quite likely to connect in the middle of a discontinuous frame,
|
|
which resulted in frame end event for a frame that hasn't been started.
|
|
- Symbols can be now resolved offline on Windows and Linux.
|
|
- Enabled with the TRACY_SYMBOL_OFFLINE_RESOLVE define or env variable.
|
|
- The update utility has two additional options:
|
|
- -r, which enables resolving symbol and patching stack frames in the
|
|
trace.
|
|
- -p, which you can use to modify the paths used for symbol resolution.
|
|
- Some functionality will be missing if this mode is used. For example,
|
|
symbol statistics are unavailable.
|
|
- Resolving symbol names on Linux will now use image cache to reduce the
|
|
number of dladdr() calls.
|
|
- Compiling with the TRACY_LIBBACKTRACE_ELF_DYNLOAD_SUPPORT define will
|
|
enable support for run-time updating of known elf ranges in libbacktrace
|
|
on Linux. Previously, shared objects dlopened() after libbacktrace init
|
|
would not be visible during symbol resolution.
|
|
- Zone group count in the Find zone window is now explicitly displayed.
|
|
- Instrumentation statistics now display in how many threads each source
|
|
location has appeared in.
|
|
- Added import tool for fuchsia traces.
|
|
- https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/reference/tracing/trace-format
|
|
- Added checks for overflow of source locations.
|
|
- As a reminder, Tracy only allows to have 64K unique source locations,
|
|
split in half between static and dynamic locations.
|
|
- Runtime checks are active during capture and will stop a trace that
|
|
goes beyond the limit.
|
|
- Load-time checks will stop any broken trace file from loading.
|
|
- Opening the source code view that has no associated address in code
|
|
(i.e., from the list of instrumented zones, or from the find zone
|
|
window) will now search the list of symbols for a function name match.
|
|
- In many cases this will result in displaying the full disassembly view
|
|
where previously you would only see the source code.
|
|
- Matching is performed by string comparisons, which in rare cases may
|
|
result in showing false data.
|
|
- Press ctrl key while opening source view to keep the old behavior.
|
|
- If more than one matching symbol is found (e.g., if two classes have
|
|
methods with the same name, or if a template is instantiated in multiple
|
|
places in code), it is not possible to tell which of the code locations
|
|
the source location corresponds to and only the source code will be
|
|
displayed.
|
|
- Added TracyNoop macro, which inserts a reference to Tracy's object file
|
|
into your application. Use it if you want to use Tracy in sampling mode,
|
|
without any manual instrumentation (so no references of your own exist)
|
|
and link Tracy as a static library. Linkers will only include library code
|
|
if code references it, and this doesn't work as intended with Tracy, as it
|
|
ignores global constructors that have side effects.
|
|
- ZoneText and ZoneName macros now have a printf-like variant, denoted with
|
|
a 'F' postfix.
|
|
- The 'tracy_shared_libs' Meson option was removed. Use interface provided
|
|
by Meson to set the library type instead.
|
|
- Dropped the 'tracy_' prefix from Meson options. The `tracy_enable` option
|
|
remains as it was, as it can be inherited from parent projects.
|
|
- Fixed display of active / inactive allocations in memory call tree.
|
|
- Instrumentation statistics can be now sorted by source location.
|
|
- Added option to hide external code frames in call stack view.
|
|
- There's now a copy to clipboard button in the statistics view. It copies
|
|
the visible rows of either the instrumentation or GPU statistics view to
|
|
a CSV string matching a subset of the csvexport format.
|
|
- Source file contents can be copied to the clipboard.
|
|
- Added key binding for immediate reconnect: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R.
|
|
- Lock markup is now available through the C API.
|
|
- Symbol statistics window now allows aggregation of inlined functions in
|
|
symbols.
|
|
- Cost measurements of inlined functions in the symbol statistics window
|
|
can be now relative to the base symbol instead of total program run time.
|
|
- ScopedZone and AllocSourceLocation now accept color parameter. Impact on
|
|
existing code should be minimal.
|
|
- AllocSourceLocation has a new parameter with a default value.
|
|
- __tracy_alloc_srcloc and __tracy_alloc_srcloc_name break the existing
|
|
API. This can be easily fixed by setting the last parameter to zero.
|
|
- To build the profiler GUI with Wayland you now need wayland-scanner and
|
|
wayland-protocols to be installed. A reasonably recent release of the
|
|
protocols is required, which, as always, is not available on Ubuntu.
|
|
Seriously, stop trying to build modern software with that broken distro.
|
|
- Fractional DPI scaling is now properly supported on Wayland.
|
|
- Added Python bindings.
|
|
- The per-line sampling statistics are now also displayed as a percentage
|
|
of total program run time.
|
|
- The out-of-focus render frame rate reduction can be now disabled in
|
|
global settings.
|
|
- It is now possible to load source files that are newer than the trace.
|
|
The default setting is still to reject such files.
|
|
- Memory limit for a capture can be now set, both in the GUI profiler and
|
|
in the capture utility.
|
|
- Thread list can be now sorted alphabetically.
|
|
- It is now possible to adjust plot height.
|
|
- Trace comparison statistics were expanded and made more clear.
|
|
- Implemented retrieval of kernel symbol code on Linux.
|
|
- Added support for multiple compression streams in trace files. This
|
|
effectively parallelizes both load and save operations.
|
|
- The default save setup is now set to Zstd level 3 with 4 compression
|
|
streams. This gives both faster compression time and smaller file size.
|
|
- New users will be now eased into the profiler with a set of tutorial
|
|
achievements.
|
|
- You can now set the timeline options default values in global settings.
|
|
- Added a check for program memory being available before symbol retrieval
|
|
on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.10.0 (2023-10-16)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- Missed frames region of on-demand captures will be now ignored when
|
|
calculating trace time span, zone percentages, etc.
|
|
- Due to technicalities information about locks, frame statistics in trace
|
|
information window and csvexport utility still include the missed frames
|
|
time.
|
|
- When source location dynamic zone coloring mode is enabled, collapsed
|
|
zones will be now gray-colored. Previously such regions falled back to
|
|
showing thread colors, which may have been confusing to users.
|
|
- Vulkan contexts can now use VK_EXT_host_query_reset extension.
|
|
- System power usage is now reported on x86 Linux.
|
|
- Program name displayed in broadcast messages can be now changed with the
|
|
TracySetProgramName() macro.
|
|
- Zone error markers (red regions and error bars) have been removed for
|
|
consistency with how all other profiling events are displayed.
|
|
- It is now possible to export messages in the csvexport utility.
|
|
- Major overhaul of how timeline items are processed in GUI.
|
|
- The process of figuring out what needs to be drawn on the timeline has
|
|
been heavily parallelized.
|
|
- The impact is especially visible with traces containing large amounts
|
|
of data. The framerate improvement in such cases can be ~30x.
|
|
- Consequently, the profiler GUI will now produce multi-core spikes when
|
|
rendering frames. This may have impact on the profiled application's
|
|
performance, if both the application and the profiler GUI are running
|
|
on the same machine. If this is a problem, you may consider the capture
|
|
utility instead, which is not affected by these changes. Alternatively,
|
|
you may disable parallelization in the options menu.
|
|
- Most of the timeline item logic has been written from scratch, which
|
|
may have taken care of some elusive bugs.
|
|
- Added global configuration settings dialog. You can find it in the
|
|
profiler's about menu (the wrench icon in the welcome dialog).
|
|
- List of found zones in the Find zone menu can be filtered by user text.
|
|
- Fixed div-by-zero in cvsexport utility when there was only one zone of
|
|
a kind.
|
|
- Fixed compatibility problems with FreeBSD.
|
|
- Added support for dynamically loaded Vulkan symbols.
|
|
- Trace description or filename is now displayed on the window title bar.
|
|
- The csvexport utility will now export thread id data.
|
|
- Improved compatibility with MSVC projects not defining NOMINMAX.
|
|
- Improved compatibility with Linux setups targeting musl as libc.
|
|
- Thread safety of Vulkan instrumentation has been reviewed.
|
|
- D3D11 and D3D12 instrumentation was rewritten.
|
|
- Added support for efficient profiling when running under rr, the record-
|
|
replaying debugger. This is enabled with TRACY_PATCHABLE_NOPSLEDS define.
|
|
- History of viewed symbols is now preserved and you can go back to
|
|
previously displayed entries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.9.1 (2023-02-26)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support for pre-0.8 traces has been dropped.
|
|
- Profiled programs will ignore dlclose() calls.
|
|
- Added warning when the profiler interface is run with privilege elevation.
|
|
Advice is given to instead run the client with admin rights.
|
|
- Switched to official ZEN4 uarch data.
|
|
- Handle cases when thread name is set, but not through Tracy facilities.
|
|
- Allow customization of source location data through the following macros:
|
|
- TracyFunction - defaults to __FUNCTION__
|
|
- TracyFile - defaults to __FILE__
|
|
- TracyLine - defaults to __LINE__
|
|
- Tracy on Linux now targets and requires Wayland by default.
|
|
- Please don't ask about window decorations on Gnome. Current behavior is
|
|
the intended behavior. Gnome does not want windows to have decorations,
|
|
and Tracy respects this choice. If you find this problematic, use a
|
|
desktop environment that actually listens to its users.
|
|
- Pass LEGACY=1 parameter to make, if you want to instead rely on the GLFW
|
|
library, like before.
|
|
- Other platforms still use GLFW.
|
|
- Compare traces menu can now display source code differences between two
|
|
traces.
|
|
- Assembly listings saved to files have been improved.
|
|
- Listings are now annotated with source line information.
|
|
- To improve compatibility with external tools comments are now prefixed
|
|
with '#' instead of ';'.
|
|
- Histogram tooltip will now also show left/right counts.
|
|
- Tracy now actively manages timeline vertical scroll offset in order to keep
|
|
the thread under the mouse cursor in the same place on screen.
|
|
- Removed support for AT&T assembly syntax.
|
|
- Tracy will not display notification if the file selector can't be used.
|
|
Possible reasons for failure include lack of xdg-desktop-portal.
|
|
- Using the TRACY_NO_CRASH_HANDLER define will disable handling of
|
|
application crashes by the profiler.
|
|
- Tracy will now query jump and call target addresses. This enables discovery
|
|
of target function names, even if such function has no samples and is not
|
|
present in any call stack.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.9.0 (2022-10-26)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Attention! All the header and source files used for integrating Tracy with
|
|
applications were moved to the public/ directory. This will break your
|
|
integration!
|
|
- To fix this, update the source and include directories lists to point to
|
|
the new location.
|
|
- Tracy include files directly referenced by the client were moved to
|
|
tracy/ subdirectory, to facilitate setups which previously had Tracy
|
|
checkout parent directory in the include paths list (i.e. when you
|
|
included "tracy/Tracy.hpp").
|
|
- Previously, if you have included the Tracy checkout directory in your
|
|
project include directories list (i.e. you could include "Tracy.hpp"),
|
|
this could result in third-party library conflicts, e.g. with ImGui.
|
|
Such scenarios are no longer the case.
|
|
- Tracy macros now require to be terminated with a semicolon.
|
|
- The undocumented ___tracy_demangle() function API has been changed. Please
|
|
refer to the source code for further instructions.
|
|
- The parameter callback and its registration macro have been extended to
|
|
include user data pointer. You will need to update your code accordingly.
|
|
- Plots visualization has been improved.
|
|
- Each plot now has its own color, which can also be defined by the user.
|
|
- The area below the plot is now optionally filled with a color.
|
|
- Plots can now also be configured to be staircase instead of smooth. This
|
|
new setting is appropriate for many inputs where only discrete values
|
|
make sense, e.g. the memory allocation plot.
|
|
- The API for TracyPlotConfig() macro has been changed. Please refer to
|
|
the manual to see how you can fix this.
|
|
- Some text labels in the user interface are now more easy to read.
|
|
- The profiler will now instruct the user in the UI on what can be done, if
|
|
the send queue is slow to process (typically due to symbol resolution).
|
|
- If a client with an incompatible protocol is discovered, Tracy will now
|
|
try to show which versions can be used to handle the connection.
|
|
- Messages list in zone info window can now show messages exclusive to the
|
|
zone, filtering out the messages emitted from child zones.
|
|
- Added capture of vertical synchronization timings on Linux.
|
|
- The range of frame bar colors in the frames overview on top of the screen
|
|
can be now controlled with the "Target FPS" entry box in the options menu.
|
|
- The "Draw frame targets" option does not need to be selected.
|
|
- Previously the hardcoded FPS target thresholds were: 30, 60, 144 FPS.
|
|
- Currently the FPS target threshold is: half of target, target, twice the
|
|
target.
|
|
- Reworked the way zone names are shortened.
|
|
- Previously shortening supported only namespace removal, in a way that
|
|
didn't consider function parameters or template arguments.
|
|
- Shortening to one-letter namespace chains is no longer available.
|
|
- The new shortening rules first perform normalization of the function name.
|
|
- The function const qualifier is removed.
|
|
- Common return types are removed.
|
|
- All function parameters and all template arguments are removed.
|
|
- The next steps consist of repeated removal of namespaces, starting with
|
|
the most outermost one.
|
|
- While the old process was all or nothing, the new implementation by
|
|
default will dynamically adjust to the space available, trying to show
|
|
the most context possible.
|
|
- It is also possible to completely disable shortening, or require that it
|
|
is always performed in full.
|
|
- Function name normalization is enabled by default, even if there is space
|
|
to show full function name. This can be changed in options.
|
|
- Previously shortening was only applied to the zone names displayed on the
|
|
timeline. Currently this process will also apply to all other places in
|
|
the UI where function names are displayed. However, in these cases the
|
|
function names will only be normalized.
|
|
- Full function names are still available as tooltips, or in fine print if
|
|
the normalized name is already displayed in a tooltip.
|
|
- This functionality is disabled if zone name shortening is disabled.
|
|
- Added context menu for timeline labels. Currently the only option is to hide
|
|
the selected thread, plot, etc.
|
|
- You can now provide custom source file contents through a profiler callback.
|
|
- Exposed Tracy version to client applications (available through the
|
|
common/TracyVersion.hpp header file).
|
|
- D3D12 instrumentation is now thread-safe.
|
|
- Timeline can be now navigated with WASD keys.
|
|
- Symbol file paths are now normalized on libbacktrace systems. For example,
|
|
instead of "/usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.2.0/../../../../
|
|
include/c++/12.2.0/bits/std_mutex.h" Tracy will now report such file as
|
|
"/usr/include/c++/12.2.0/bits/std_mutex.h".
|
|
- The import-chrome utility interprets Instant (`i`/`I`) events where the
|
|
`name` field contains the word `frame` as a frame event. The `name` is the
|
|
frame set name.
|
|
- Frame data won't be displayed if there was no frame instrumentation in the
|
|
profiling session.
|
|
- Note that some automated functionality (e.g. vertical synchronization
|
|
capture) may automatically generate frame data, which will force frames to
|
|
be displayed.
|
|
- Tracy threads will now be collapsed by default on the timeline.
|
|
- Clicking on a local thread in the CPU data view will make the thread visible
|
|
and uncollapsed on the timeline.
|
|
- Assembly view is now in color.
|
|
- The profiler UI will no longer unnecessarily redraw the screen if nothing
|
|
was changed. This should have a profound impact on power usage.
|
|
- Added microarchitecture data for Zen 4.
|
|
- Implemented optional propagation of inline cost down the local call stack.
|
|
- This feature may be useful when trying to get a general outlook of the
|
|
cost at the top-level function in the symbol.
|
|
- It is possible to get nonsense data when this is enabled, for example
|
|
total cost exceeding 100%. This is by design.
|
|
- Assembly line costs are not affected.
|
|
- Available clients now also broadcast their PID.
|
|
- Reversed mouse button assignments for jumping to source / assembly line in
|
|
symbol view. The left mouse button will now focus the target line.
|
|
- Assembly lines tooltip will now display local call stack of inline functions
|
|
(within the symbol).
|
|
- Right-clicking the source location entry in assembly line will show the
|
|
local call stack, along with source code preview of each entry and ability
|
|
to navigate to any selected inline function.
|
|
- The profiler UI will now indicate that it needs attention if the window is
|
|
not focused and something interesting happens. For example when a connection
|
|
is established, or when a saved trace finishes loading, etc. How the
|
|
attention request is indicated depends on the operating system.
|
|
- Clicking on the red microarchitecture icon in the symbol view assembly pane
|
|
will switch the selected microarchitecture to one the profiled application
|
|
was running on.
|
|
- Removed option to display instruction latencies in a graphical form. Latency
|
|
data is still available in instruction tooltip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.8.2 (2022-06-28)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Added support for debuginfod debug information services. Note that
|
|
since this depends on proper system configuration, vendors providing
|
|
the debug information, and network retrieval, it is disabled by
|
|
default. To enable, compile the profiled application with the
|
|
TRACY_DEBUGINFOD define and link with libdebuginfod.
|
|
- When Tracy server-side utilities are build with MSVC, the required
|
|
libraries will be now automatically retrieved and built with vcpkg.
|
|
- Added microarchitecture data for: Bonnell, Airmont, Goldmont, Goldmont
|
|
Plus, Tremont.
|
|
- Recognize additional CPUIDs of Zen 3, Alder Lake, Ice Lake
|
|
microarchitectures.
|
|
- Assembly line width will be now extended, if needed. Previously the line
|
|
width was calculated for the initial layout and changing amount of
|
|
displayed data (especially listing the read/written registers) didn't
|
|
affect this, which may have made some lines partially unreadable.
|
|
- Added ability to filter call stacks in memory tab by inactive allocations.
|
|
Filtering by inactive allocations helps to pinpoint wasteful allocations
|
|
in the program.
|
|
- Plot graph will no longer display min/max values interpolated for
|
|
animation, but rather true values.
|
|
- The CPU topology tree structure was replaced by a CPU schematic showing
|
|
the same thing in a more concise way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.8.1 (2022-04-21)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support for pre-0.7 traces has been dropped.
|
|
- Update utility can now scan for source files missing in the trace cache,
|
|
if the '-c' parameter is given. Found files will be added to the cache.
|
|
- Added high-priority queue for fast queries to bypass slow symbol queries.
|
|
- Fixed Android documentation to show how to enable context switch tracing.
|
|
- Workaround MSVC 2015 stupidity which prevented compilation as C++11.
|
|
- Added support for showing branch cost data for CPUs that don't report
|
|
branch retirement events (but do report branch misses).
|
|
- The right-click context menu available for jump arrows in the symbol view
|
|
window will now additionally display jump context, i.e. jump sources and
|
|
jump target source code fragments.

|
|
resolution in call stacks on Windows.

|
|
- Reworked rpmalloc initialization.
|
|
- Fixed display of messages with newlines on messages list.
|
|
- Excluded some uninteresting wrapper functions from call stacks (for
|
|
example SIMD pass-through intrinsics to the compiler built-ins).
|
|
- Adjusted coloring of instruction hotness in symbol view.
|
|
- Properly handle rare cases when sampling on Linux is momentary not able to
|
|
resolve time stamps.
|
|
- Added Rocket Lake microarchitectural data.

|
- Updated CPU identifier lists.
|
|
- Implemented GPU timer overflow handling heuristics.
|
|
- Assembly instructions are now assigned to inline symbols.
|
|
- You can not only see the assembly source file and line, but also the
|
|
originating function.
|
|
- If symbol view is restricted to a single inline function, all assembly
|
|
instructions not in this context will be dimmed out.
|
|
- Likewise, the navigation in assembly code will be limited just to the
|
|
inline context, if a single function is selected.
|
|
- Kernel call stacks will be now properly captured and displayed in the
|
|
profiler. Kernel functions are marked with the red color.
|
|
- The CPU hardware performance counters can be now sampled on Linux.
|
|
- Three inferred statistics are displayed for lines in both source and
|
|
assembly code in the symbol view window:
|
|

|
- Branch miss rate.
|
|
- Cache miss rate.
|
|

|
|
stack sampling.

|
|
- A warning is now displayed when sampling data is out-of-order.
|
|
- Average value for plots can be now viewed.
|
|
- Moved symbol resolution to a separate thread. Profiling will no longer be
|
|
stuck when there is a large number of symbols to resolve. This not only
|
|
improves user experience, but also prevents buildup of data (and memory
|
|
consumption) on the client side.
|
|
- Android device name will be now reported.
|
|

- Client code requires additional instrumentation using the new macros
|
|
TracyFiberEnter and TracyFiberLeave (or the corresponding C API
|
|
variants).

|
- Stacks can be limited to certain threads and to a selected time range.
|
|
- Stacks are presented either as a sorted list, or as a bottom-up and
|
|
top-down trees.

|
cases.
|
|
- Sorting is performed only as needed.
|
|
- In case of plots the performance during live capture may be decreased,
|
|
as these were sorted with at least 0.25 second intervals before. Now
|
|
the sorting is performed every frame.

v0.4.1 (2018-12-30)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Active frame set can be now switched by clicking on a frame set on the
|
|
timeline.
|
|
- Add ability to go to a specified frame.
|
|
- Most commonly used addresses can be now selected from the drop-down menu.
|
|
- Fixed corner case problem with profiler initialization on Windows.
|
|
- Added third state (stopped) to the pause/resume button. It will be used
|
|
after the connection to the client is terminated.
|
|
- Active trace can be discarded.
|
|

|
|
|
|
v0.4 (2018-10-09)
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- Renamed "standalone" utility to "profiler".
|
|
- Added trace update utility, which will convert files saved in previous
|
|
versions of tracy to be up-to-date.
|
|
- Optional high compression (--hc) mode is available that will increase
|
|
the compression level, at the cost of considerably longer compression
|
|
time.
|
|
- Fix regression causing varying size of profiler window for different
|
|
captures.
|
|
- Added support for on-demand tracing.
|
|
- If a client application is compiled with the TRACY_ON_DEMAND macro
|
|
defined, tracing will not begin until a connection to server is
|
|
established.
|
|
- Since data is not fully captured in this mode, the resulting trace will
|
|
be less precise, until application state is appropriately reset. For
|
|
example, locks need to be fully released, zone stacks need to be
|
|
flushed. This is an automatic process.
|
|
- All tracing macros are able to work in the on-demand mode.
|
|
- Improved compatibility with various system setups.
|
|
- Aside from using TRACY_NO_EXIT define you can also set the same-named
|
|
environmental variable to 1 to get the same effect.
|
|
- Added ability to show/hide all threads and plots.
|
|
- Performance improvements.
|
|
- Improvements to memory data presentation.
|
|
- Added memory allocation info window.
|
|
- Selecting memory allocation on a plot will draw time range of the
|
|
allocation.
|
|
- Middle clicking on an memory allocation address (or on a button in
|
|
memory allocation info window) will zoom the view to the allocation
|
|
range.
|
|
- Find zone menu improvements:
|
|
- Zones can be now also grouped by call stacks.
|
|
- Zone groups can be now also sorted by time spend in each zone.
|
|
- Zone groups list now displays group times.
|
|
- Average and median zone times are now displayed on the histogram.
|
|
- Selected zones will be highlighted on the timeline view.
|
|
- Added named versions of tracing macros that allow specifying scoped
|
|
variable name.
|
|
- The main profiler window is now kept at the bottom of windows stack.
|
|
- The "profiler" utility will now use a custom embedded font.
|
|
- Microseconds are now displayed using correct symbol ('μ' instead of 'u').
|
|
- Unix builds of the "profiler" utility will now ask for a file name when
|
|
saving a trace.
|
|
- Progress popup is now displayed when a trace file is loading.
|
|
- Zones that share source location with a zone that is hovered over are now
|
|
highlighted.
|
|
- Added ability to zoom-in to a selection range made using middle mouse
|
|
button.
|
|
- Holding the ctrl key will switch to zoom-out mode.
|
|
- The "profiler" utility will use less resources when its window is
|
|
out-of-focus or minimized.
|
|
- Added support for cross-DLL profiling.
|
|
- Items in options menu (locks, threads, etc.) are now described with number
|
|
of events.
|
|
- Source location of lock declaration is also provided.
|
|
- Created an extensive user manual for the profiler.
|
|
- Added ability to capture multiple frame sets.
|
|
- Viewer will display multiple frame ranges at once.
|
|
- Only one frame set can be active at once. The selected one is used for
|
|
the frame navigation graph, frame navigation buttons and drawing frame
|
|
separators.
|
|
- The active frame set will be highlighted, and the rest will be dimmed
|
|
out.
|
|
- Frames can now also be discontinuous.
|
|
- Frames and zones too small to be displayed will be marked with a zig-zag
|
|
pattern.
|
|
- General improvements to message list and message markers.
|
|
- Hovering over message on a list will highlight its marker (previously it
|
|
only worked the other way).
|
|
- Left clicking on a message marker will focus the message list on the
|
|
selected message.
|
|
- Middle clicking on a message marker will center it on screen.
|
|
- Added trace information window.
|
|
- This includes frame time statistics and histogram.
|
|
- Displayed memory sizes are now properly formatted.
|
|
- Added call stack tree for memory allocations.
|
|
- You can display allocations list for each call stack tree entry.
|
|
- The source code of the profiled application may now be viewed in the
|
|
profiler.
|
|
- BIG FAT WARNING: The actual profiled program source code is not known to
|
|
the profiler. It only checks if there is a file on your disk that
|
|
matches the file name of the captured source location. Even if the file
|
|
is displayed, it may be out of date.
|
|
- CPU and GPU zones will have "Source" button, if source file can be
|
|
opened.
|
|
- Source files for call stack traces can be opened by right-clicking on
|
|
the file name. Since in this case there is no button that can be hidden,
|
|
a small animation will be played to notify user if the source cannot be
|
|
opened.
|
|
- The main profiler view will now occupy the whole window. Previous behavior
|
|
is still available for embedded use cases.
|
|
- Many button labels are now accompanied by icons.
|
|
- Fonts should now be less blurry.
|
|
- "Go to parent" button in zone info window won't be displayed if there is
|
|
no parent to go to.
|
|
- Improvements to the compare traces menu.
|
|
- There are now colored markers to make it easier to distinguish "this" and
|
|
"external" traces.
|
|
- The amount of saved time is now displayed (a difference between total
|
|
run times of both traces).
|
|
- Tracy will now collect host information, like CPU name, amount of system
|
|
memory, etc.
|
|
- Windows builds of the "profiler" utility will perform a check of supported
|
|
CPU instruction set and match it against the one required by the binary
|
|
(by default AVX2 is used). If the program cannot be executed on the
|
|
processor, a message dialog with workaround instructions will be
|
|
displayed.
|
|
- Tracy can intercept crashes and finish sending data from a dying process.
|
|
- Currently this is only implemented on Windows, Linux and Android.
|
|
- Call stack window may now display addresses of the frames, instead of
|
|
source file locations.
|
|
- Memory events will now properly register their thread.
|
|
- Profiler settings are now stored in a persistent location.
|
|
- On Windows settings are stored in %APPDATA%/tracy.
|
|
- On other platforms settings are stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tracy or
|
|
$HOME/.config/tracy, if the variable is not set.
|
|
- The main profiler window position, size and maximized state are saved
|
|
and restored.
|
|
- The size and position of internal windows now doesn't depend on the
|
|
runtime directory of the profiler executable.
|
|
- Added connection handshake.
|
|
- Server won't be able to connect to client if there's a protocol version
|
|
mismatch.
|
|
- Client not in on-demand mode will refuse connections after the first
|
|
connection was made and the initial event buffers were cleared.
|
|
- A single server will no longer try to connect to multiple clients.
|
|
- The capture utility will now display time span of the ongoing capture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.3 (2018-07-03)
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- Breaking change: the format of trace files has changed.
|
|
- Previous tracy version will crash when trying to open new traces.
|
|
- Loading of traces saved by previous version is supported.
|
|
- Tracy will no longer crash when trying to load traces saved by future
|
|
versions. Instead, a dialog advising to update will be displayed.
|
|
- Tracy will no longer crash in most cases when trying to open files that
|
|
are not traces. Some crashes are still possible, due to support of old,
|
|
header-less traces.
|
|
- Ability to track every memory allocation in profiled program.
|
|
- Allocation event queuing must be done in order, which requires exclusive
|
|
access to the serialized queue on the client side. This has no effect on
|
|
the rest of events, which are stored in a concurrent queue, as before.
|
|
- You can search for a memory address and see where it was allocated, for
|
|
how long, etc. This lists all matching allocations since the program was
|
|
started.
|
|
- All active (non-freed) allocations may be listed. This shows the current
|
|
memory state by default, but can go back to any point in time.
|
|
- Graphical representation of process memory map may be displayed. New
|
|
allocations/frees are displayed in a bright color and fade out with
|
|
time. This feature also can look back in time.
|
|
- Memory usage plot is automatically generated.
|
|
- Basic allocation information is displayed in memory plot tooltips.
|
|
- A summary of memory events within a zone (and its children) is now
|
|
printed in zone info window.
|
|
- Support loading profile dumps with no memory allocation data (generated by
|
|
v0.2).
|
|
- Added ability to display global statistics of a selected zone from the
|
|
zone info window.
|
|
- Fixed regression with lock announce processing that appeared during
|
|
worker/viewer split.
|
|
- Allow selecting/unselecting all locks for display.
|
|
- Performance improvements.
|
|
- Don't save unneeded lock information in trace file.
|
|
- Don't save thrash in message list data.
|
|
- Allow expanding view span up to one hour, instead of one minute.
|
|
- Added trace comparison window.
|
|
- An external trace has to be loaded first.
|
|
- Zone query in both traces (current and external).
|
|
- Both results are overlaid on the same histogram.
|
|
- Graphs can be adjusted as-if there was the same number of zones
|
|
collected.
|
|
- Read time directly from a hardware register on ARM/ARM64, if possible.
|
|
- User-space access to the timer needs to be enabled in the kernel, so
|
|
tracy will perform run-time checks and fallback to the old method if the
|
|
check fails.
|
|
- Prevent connections in a TIME-WAIT state from blocking new listen
|
|
connections.
|
|
- Display y-range of plots.
|
|
- Added ability to unload traces loaded from files. To do so close the main
|
|
profiler window. You will return to the connect/open selection dialog.
|
|
Live captures cannot be terminated this way.
|
|
- Zones previously displayed in zone info window are remembered and you can
|
|
go back to them. Closing the zone info window or switching between CPU and
|
|
GPU zones will clear the memory.
|
|
- Improved message list window.
|
|
- Messages are now displayed in columns.
|
|
- Originating thread of each message is now included in the list.
|
|
- Messages can be filtered by the originating thread.
|
|
- You can now navigate to next and previous frame.
|
|
- Zone statistics can be now displayed using only self times.
|
|
- Support for tracing GPU events using Vulkan.
|
|
- Timeline will now display "OpenGL context" or "Vulkan context" instead of
|
|
"GPU context".
|
|
- Fixed regression causing invalid display of GPU context appearance time.
|
|
- Fixed regression causing invalid reporting of an active CPU in zone end
|
|
events, if MSVC rdtscp optimization was not enabled.
|
|
- Ability to collect true call stacks.
|
|
- Supported on Windows, Linux, Android.
|
|
- The following events can collect call stacks:
|
|
- Memory alloc/free.
|
|
- Zone begin.
|
|
- GPU zone begin.
|
|
- Zone stack trace now also displays frames from a real call trace.
|
|
- On Linux call stack frame name resolution requires a call to dladdr,
|
|
which in turn requires linking with libdl.
|
|
- Allow manual entry of GPU time drift value.
|
|
- Unix build system no longer shares object files between different build
|
|
units.
|
|
- Fixes inability to build debug and release versions of a single utility
|
|
without "make clean".
|
|
- Fixes incompatibility between "standalone" and "capture" utilities due
|
|
to different set of used feature flags.
|
|
- On Windows "standalone" utility now adapts to system DPI setting.
|
|
- Optional per-call zone naming.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Ability to search for zones matching a query.
|
|
- Histogram of zone time spans.
|
|
- List occurrences of a zone, grouped by thread, or by user text.
|
|
- Zone groups can be selected and highlighted on histogram graph.
|
|
- Support for linear and logarithmic display of time and values.
|
|
- Histogram bins can show zone counts or total execution time.
|
|
- Listed zones can be narrowed down by data range selection on histogram.
|
|
- Separation of server data handling code from the visualisation.
|
|
- Implementation of a command line capture utility.
|
|
- Support libraries have been updated.
|
|
- Fixed an issue that prevented de-duplication of source location payloads.
|
|
- Fixed an issue that prevented the ability to disable threads in settings
|
|
menu, if two threads had the same name.
|
|
- Performance optimizations.
|
|
- Visual clean up of the settings menu.
|
|
- Zone info windows improvements.
|
|
- Visual improvements to zone info window child list.
|
|
- Zone info windows now show zone thread.
|
|
- Display zone stack trace.
|
|
- Hide pause/resume button if there's no data connection (i.e. trace was
|
|
loaded from file).
|
|
- Source location statistics view has been added.
|
|
- Fixed crash when a saved trace was opened, but no trace capture session
|
|
was performed before.
|
|
- Standalone server will now open trace files passed as an argument to the
|
|
executable.
|
|
- Fix possible crash in SetThreadName, that could happen if TLS init was
|
|
delayed until first use of thread local variable.
|
|
- Store full thread name if pthreads (with 15 character name limit) are
|
|
used.
|
|
- Properly handle unaligned memory access (no performance impact).
|
|
- Fixed broken lock identifiers in try_lock().
|
