I'm using a package called gprof that profiles Groovy code, and it has been
very useful.
You are supposed to be able to write
profile {your code goes here}.prettyPrint()
and it will print out a profile of your code on the console. But that
doesn't work for me. I read the code and found what I thought was the
definition of "profile" in ProfileStaticExtension
Its definition is
public class ProfileStaticExtension {
static Report profile(Object selfType, Callable profiled) {
return new Profiler().run(profiled);
}
static Report profile(Object selfType, Map options, Callable profiled) {
return new Profiler().run(options, profiled);
}
}
So, I tried writing
ProfileStaticExtension.profile(null, {your code goes here}).prettyPrint()
and that worked! Do you have any idea why the syntax that they advertised
doesn't work? It certainly is a nicer syntax than what I am using. I'm
using it in Eclipse and I thought maybe I had the class path set up
incorrectly, but it looks good to me.
new Profiler.profile({your code here}).prettyPrint() works, too.
