Update for the new API of the profiler.
2005-07-28 Federico Mena Quintero <federico@ximian.com> * perf/README: Update for the new API of the profiler. * perf/gtkwidgetprofiler.[ch]: New files with a widget profiler object. This is the old content of timers.[ch] turned into a nice object, with signals for creation and reporting. The profiler needs to maintain some state when reusing the widget, so it's useful to turn it into a real object. Break down timing show_all into GTK_WIDGET_PROFILER_REPORT_MAP and GTK_WIDGET_PROFILER_REPORT_EXPOSE. * perf/main.c: Refactor to use GtkWidgetProfiler. * perf/appwindow.c (content_area_new): Make this just create a notebook, instead of a complex arrangement of panes. * perf/widgets.h: New header file for all the "create a widget" utility functions. * perf/treeview.c: New file. Moved the tree view part from appwindow.c over to here; GtkTreeView really needs its own tests. (tree_view_new): Set the shadow type to IN. * perf/textview.c: Likewise moved over from appwindow.c, but for GtkTextView. (text_view_new): Set the shadow type to IN. * perf/Makefile.am (testperf_SOURCES): Add the new source files; remove appwindow.h and timers.[ch]. * perf/timers.[ch]: Removed. * perf/appwindow.h: Removed.

Using the framework
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Right now the framework is very simple; it just has utility functions
|
||||
to time widget creation, drawing, and destruction. To run such a
|
||||
test, you use the functions in timers.h. You can call this:
|
||||
to time widget creation, mapping, exposure, and destruction. To run
|
||||
such a test, you use the GtkWidgetProfiler object in
|
||||
gtkwidgetprofiler.h.
|
||||
|
||||
timer_time_widget (create_func, report_func, user_data);
|
||||
The gtk_widget_profiler_profile_boot() function will emit the
|
||||
"create-widget" signal so that you can create your widget for
|
||||
testing. It will then take timings for the widget, and emit the
|
||||
"report" signal as appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
You must provide the create_funcn and report_func callbacks.
|
||||
The "create-widget" signal:
|
||||
|
||||
The create_func:
|
||||
The handler has this form:
|
||||
|
||||
This simply creates a toplevel window with some widgets inside it.
|
||||
It is important that you do not show any of the widgets; the
|
||||
framework will call gtk_widget_show_all() on the toplevel window
|
||||
automatically at the right time.
|
||||
GtkWidget *create_widget_callback (GtkWidgetProfiler *profiler,
|
||||
gpointer user_data);
|
||||
|
||||
The report_func:
|
||||
You need to create a widget in your handler, and return it. Do not
|
||||
show the widget; the profiler will do that by itself at the right
|
||||
time, and will actually complain if you show the widget.
|
||||
|
||||
This function will get called when timer_time_widget() reaches an
|
||||
interesting point in the lifecycle of your widget. See timers.h and
|
||||
the TimerReport enumeration; this is what gets passed as the
|
||||
"report" argument to your report_func. Right now, your function
|
||||
will be called three times for each call to timer_time_widget():
|
||||
|
||||
1. With report = TIMER_REPORT_WIDGET_CREATION. A timer gets
|
||||
started right before timer_time_widget() calls create_func,
|
||||
and it gets stopped when your create_func returns. This
|
||||
measures the time it takes to set up a toplevel window (but
|
||||
not show it).
|
||||
The "report" signal:
|
||||
|
||||
2. With report = TIMER_REPORT_WIDGET_SHOW. A timer gets started
|
||||
right before timer_time_widget() calls gtk_widget_show_all()
|
||||
on your toplevel window, and it gets stopped when the window
|
||||
has been fully shown and painted to the screen.
|
||||
This function will get called when the profiler wants to report that
|
||||
it finished timing an important stage in the lifecycle of your
|
||||
widget. The handler has this form:
|
||||
|
||||
3. With report = TIMER_REPORT_WIDGET_DESTRUCTION. A timer gets
|
||||
started right before timer_time_widget() calls
|
||||
gtk_widget_destroy() on your toplevel window, and it gets
|
||||
stopped when gtk_widget_destroy() returns.
|
||||
void report_callback (GtkWidgetProfiler *profiler,
|
||||
GtkWidgetProfilerReport report,
|
||||
GtkWidget *widget,
|
||||
gdouble elapsed,
|
||||
gpointer user_data);
|
||||
|
||||
As a very basic example of using timer_time_widget(), you can use
|
||||
something like this:
|
||||
The "report" argument tells you what happened to your widget:
|
||||
|
||||
GTK_WIDGET_PROFILER_REPORT_CREATE. A timer gets started right
|
||||
before the profiler emits the "create-widget" signal,, and it gets
|
||||
stopped when your callback returns with the new widget. This
|
||||
measures the time it takes to set up your widget, but not show it.
|
||||
|
||||
GTK_WIDGET_PROFILER_REPORT_MAP. A timer gets started right before
|
||||
the profiler calls gtk_widget_show_all() on your widget, and it
|
||||
gets stopped when the the widget has been mapped.
|
||||
|
||||
GTK_WIDGET_PROFILER_REPORT_EXPOSE. A timer gets started right before
|
||||
the profiler starts waiting for GTK+ and the X server to finish
|
||||
painting your widget, and it gets stopped when the widget is fully
|
||||
painted to the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
GTK_WIDGET_PROFILER_REPORT_DESTROY. A timer gets started right
|
||||
before the profiler calls gtk_widget_destroy() on your widget, and
|
||||
it gets stopped when gtk_widget_destroy() returns.
|
||||
|
||||

Getting meaningful results

Getting times for widget creation/drawing/destruction is interesting,

but how do you actually find the places that need optimizing?

Getting times for widget creation/mapping/exposing/destruction is

interesting, but how do you actually find the places that need

optimizing?
|

|
||||
Why, you run the tests under a profiler, of course.
