[Plugin] Plugin to profile/optimize code

[dfwlarch]

This might be a duplicate effort, but I couldn't find anything beyond this thread:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=25101

So... here is a SketchUp plugin that does basic profiling of each function call. It is modified from the stock profiler.rb that came with Ruby 1.8.7 (see https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ruby_1_8_7/lib/profiler.rb). A good writeup of profiler.rb is found here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/tutorials/os-ruby2/section3.html

Usage

1. Add the following line
   require 'SU_Profiler/SU_Profiler.rb'
2. Add this at the start of the block to profile
   SU_Profiler::start_profile
3. At the end of the block to profile, add
   SU_Profiler::print_profile() # to print to ruby console
   or
   SU_Profiler::print_profile(filehandle) # to print to file

Output

The output will be something like this:

**```

That is mighty interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It seams to be Printing to the console ok!
Can't say I know how to profile properly, so this tool will be valuable for me. Thanks!

cheers for this,

did you test it with 'Developer Console' extension turned 'on', it seems to curry the returns

No, I didn't test it with the Developer Console. I was thinking the people who would most want to profile their code would have such a huge trace that they would want to dump to a file. Maybe printing to stdout should have an option of showing the top N entries...
