| − | ==Overview==
| + | For information on the Eclipse OProfile plugin, see the [http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/projectPages/oprofile/ project page]. |
| − | The Linux Distributions OProfile plugin aims to bring the powerful call profiling capabilities of OProfile to Eclipse, in a manner that is easy to use for developers of any level of experience. Inexperienced users can, with 1 click, determine the parts of their code which use the most time while experienced users of OProfile can perform the same functions they would on the command-line but with a much more rich visualization of the results.

| − | ==Current Status==
| + | |
| − | In conjunction with CDT 5.0, the plugin can do the following:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Launch a local C/C++ application and OProfile simultaneously to start profiling (requires root password to execute oprofile commands)
| + | |
| − | * Automatically gather OProfile data and display in a tree viewer after a launch
| + | |
| − | * Configure OProfile to profile several events simultaneously with as many debug registers as the CPU/OProfile supports
| + | |
| − | * Configure OProfile to profile relevant shared-libraries and/or kernel modules
| + | |
| − | * Jump to the line-number of the corresponding source file on a double-click of a sample
| + | |
| − | * Prompt to save the default session on double-click
| + | |
| − | * View the oprofiled log
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Future Plans==
| + | |
| − | * Robust filtering for events/sessions/images
| + | |
| − | * Code-colourization (similar to [http://www.eclemma.org/index.html EclEmma]) for code hotspots
| + | |
| − | * Comparing two sessions/runs similar to functionality of opreport
| + | |
| − | * Increase test coverage
| + | |

| − | ==Try It Out!==
| + | |
| − | * Check out the project into a workspace from eclipse.org svn at
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | svn://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.linuxtools
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | .
| + | |
| − | * You will need the 3 plugins under oprofile/trunk (
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.{core,launch,ui}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ) and the 2 plugins under profiling/trunk (
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | org.eclipse.linuxtools.profiling.{launch,ui}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ).
| + | |
| − | * To install, run (as root) the script
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | install
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | in
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core/scripts
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | (currently only tested on fedora x86 machines). This will build a required binary, install a consolehelper authentication link for the plugin to use and ensure that oprofile is installed and loaded properly.
| + | |
| − | * From there, run the plugin as an Eclipse Application.
| + | |
| − | * Tested using Eclipse 3.4.1, CDT 5.0, OProfile 0.9.4 on Fedora 9 x86.
