Profiling Rust With Tracy

Profiling a Rust application using Tracy

1. Install Tracy tools with Homebrew (MacOS)

   $ brew install tracy
   

2. Start the tracy-capture server listening for an application, capture its trace to a file with -o

   $ tracy-capture -o server.tracy
   

3. Start the application, in my case a Bevy game, with the tracy features enabled

   $ cargo run --release --features bevy/trace_tracy --bin app -- server
   

4. Run the application for some amount of time to capture the actions you need profiled

5. Stop the application and open the trace file

   $ tracy server.tracy
   

note: you likely need to set the logging filter to trace for the module(s) you want to show up in the trace.
