iaca-markers-rs

Adds IACA compatible macros for rust to identify and fix bottlenecks and improve throughput.

Usage

When compiling with IACA enabled your executable will not run.

1. Instead add the macros around the section you wish to profile as below.
2. Compile in release mode: cargo build --release.
3. Run IACA from the link above (eg.): ./iaca.sh -64 ~/path/to/exe/release/librustlib.rlib
4. Enjoy the extremely detailed output.

#![feature(asm)]

#[macro_use] extern crate iaca_markers;

fn main() {
    let mut a = 0;
    for i in 0..100 {
        iaca_start!();

        // Do some work
        a += i;
    }
    iaca_end!();

    println!("Summed to {}", a);
}

Notes

I have run this successfully with rustc 1.2.0-nightly (e4c64a149 2015-05-27). It may require beta or nightly rust for the moment until the asm feature is stabilized.
