Purefiler - An alternative profiler

[Didelphodon]

In your user-folder (home-directory) you should find a folder named "Purefiler". Any profile-run leaves 2 files in there.
Can you find this?

[Didelphodon]

A new version is online. When Purefiler is executed in pre-processor-mode (when you build an executable with the tool enabled) there's a messagerequester opened initially where you can choose if you want to compile with Purefiler code or without. So, when you don't see this messagerequester then something happened on the way.

Hi Didelphodon
I have a bug : Some timings appears to be negative

For example :
File line Hits Time (ms)
1 1 1 -0.000337 a=0
1 2 For i = 1 to 100
1 3 100 -0.032313 a=a+1
1 4 next i



Nb : PB 4.51 on a I5 760 & XP

If you compile the following and call it Purefiler.exe you can see if %COMPILEFILE is working...

Code: Select all

MessageRequester("Tool Tester",PeekS(GetCommandLine_()))

Maybe it would be easier to be able to do some simple configuraions (enable/disable the Purefiler and set the working directory) in a dialog which can be available when starting the program without any parameter. The settings can be saved even in the purebasic.prefs)
So you would not have to set the mode each time you create an exe file

PS when using EnableExplicit I get an error that Purefilervar has to be defined?!

Hm, that's kinda strange - can you post the code with which you tested?

Thx for the tip! In the meantime I already added some messagebox at the beginning of pre-processing (build) with which you can decide if to build with or without Purefiler.

See above quote - but indeed, it might be smart to make the working directory (or storing directory) adjustable. I'll keep that in mind.

Hm, that's an issue. I will work that out.

Thx for the feedback!

It's only few lines to show the pb



a=0
For i=1 To 100
a=a+1
Next i

Problem solved - a new version is online.
Please verify if the problem is also solved for you.

Hm, I tried various situations but never was able to get negative results. No idea. Can you execute the following speedtester on your machine and post the result afterwards (the result is also coppied to the clipboard)? Thx.

[Starwolf20]

-1030 - -742 = -288

Here you are

[Didelphodon]

-1030 - -742 = -288

Here you are

That's gettn stranger and stranger - plz try the second speedtest. Thx.

[Starwolf20]

-1040 - -729 = -311
-0.672840 / -230 / 231210551 / 0

[Didelphodon]

I put an Abs() in it as everything looks just inverted on your PC, besides that all the deltas look realistic. So I guess that the sign just flipped because of the actual (high) values on your machine. A new version of Purefiler is online - can you try that?

[Starwolf20]

It's ok now

Thanks

It's ok now

Good to hear
