New version of slime-sprof

Juho Snellman's Weblog

I've made a number of changes to sb-sprof lately, as a consequence of which the previous releases of sb-sprof-ui and slime-sprof will no longer work with the next release of SBCL. An updated version of slime-sprof is available. sb-sprof-ui is not going to be updated. On the plus side, sb-sprof should now be more reliable, have a lot less profiling overhead for long profiling runs, and directly supports the allocation profiling patch that I discussed on this blog earlier. It also has more documentation which I would link to, except that the SBCL manual auto-builder seems to be running a few days late.

What would it take to get something like slime-sprof into slime proper?

By Juho on 2006-11-20

I don't think there are any fundamental reasons why something like this couldn't make it into Slime proper. It's just a matter of somebody doing the work. (Cleaning up my messy elisp code is, thinking about the UI, documenting it, etc).

It's not terribly high on my priority list right now. I did have minion lined up for doing this a while ago, but nothing came of it :-)
