do you have kcachegrind like profiling tools for mac [closed]

Answer 1

Apple supply Instruments for monitoring runtime allocation of stuff and finding leaks, Shark for explicit profiling and Guard Malloc (directly built into Xcode) for memory allocation debugging. These all come as part of the developer tools.

Answer 2

MacCallGrind is a semi-commercial alternative available for the Mac. I've experimented with the free version which is limited to 3MB grind files. It's roughly equivalent to WinCacheGrind in terms of functionality.

Answer 3

Webgrind runs in PHP and can read the cachegrind output of XDebug. It currently doesn't offer all the functionality of KCacheGrind, but it is super simple to install, and seems to have renewed activity.

Answer 4

You can install KCacheGrind using MacPorts.

There are also some alternatives like:

• WebGrind
• qcachegrind (brew install qcachegrind)

• XHProf: A Hierarchical Profiler for PHP (pecl install xhprof)

• MCG premium app can analyse your application profile data natively on your Mac (released to the Mac App Store at $27)

• Profiling Viewer, available on App Store at $25

Answer 5

valgrind is available for the mac. If you are building a cocoa app, you can use the tools that come with XCode such as leaks, they are very good.

Answer 6

I ended up using qcachegrind on OSX. It can be installed via brew

brew install qcachegrind

or, to enable graphviz support:

brew install qcachegrind --with-graphviz

What's great about this program is that I successfully loaded a 6.1GB cachegrind file on my MacBook Pro! Pretty slick!
