Go Profiling using go tool pprof Basic cpu and memory profiling
Example
Add the following code in you main program.
var cpuprofile = flag.String("cpuprofile", "", "write cpu profile `file`")
var memprofile = flag.String("memprofile", "", "write memory profile to `file`")
func main() {
flag.Parse()
if *cpuprofile != "" {
f, err := os.Create(*cpuprofile)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("could not create CPU profile: ", err)
}
if err := pprof.StartCPUProfile(f); err != nil {
log.Fatal("could not start CPU profile: ", err)
}
defer pprof.StopCPUProfile()
}
...
if *memprofile != "" {
f, err := os.Create(*memprofile)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("could not create memory profile: ", err)
}
runtime.GC() // get up-to-date statistics
if err := pprof.WriteHeapProfile(f); err != nil {
log.Fatal("could not write memory profile: ", err)
}
f.Close()
}
}
after that build the go program if added in main go build main.go. Run main program with flags defined in code main.exe -cpuprofile cpu.prof -memprof mem.prof. If the profiling is done for test cases run the tests with same flags go test -cpuprofile cpu.prof -memprofile mem.prof
