# cairo-profiler
Profiler for Cairo programming language & Starknet.
## Installation
To install the latest stable version of `cairo-profiler`, run:
```shell
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/software-mansion/cairo-profiler/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
```
If you want to install a specific a version, run the following command with the requested version:
```shell
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/software-mansion/cairo-profiler/main/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- v0.1.0
```
### Installation on Windows
As for now, `cairo-profiler` on Windows needs manual installation, but necessary steps are kept to minimum:
1. [Download the release](https://github.com/software-mansion/cairo-profiler/releases) archive matching your CPU architecture.
2. Extract it to a location where you would like to have `cairo-profiler` installed. A folder named cairo_profiler in your [`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/knownfolderid?redirectedfrom=MSDN#FOLDERID_UserProgramFiles) directory will suffice:
```batch
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\cairo_profiler
```
3. Add path to the cairo_profiler\bin directory to your PATH environment variable.
4. Verify installation by running the following command in new terminal session:
```shell
cairo-profiler --version
```
## External tools integration
`cairo-profiler` is a tool-agnostic profiler which means that it accepts input from any tool. Those tools need to generate
trace in the [expected](./crates/trace-data/src/lib.rs) format.
### Integrated tools
- [x] [Starknet Foundry](https://github.com/foundry-rs/starknet-foundry) - check how to use it with `cairo-profiler` [here](https://foundry-rs.github.io/starknet-foundry/snforge-advanced-features/profiling.html)
## Usage
Usage flow consists of two steps:
- generating the output file,
- running `pprof` tool.
### Generating output file
To generate the file run `cairo-profiler` with the `` argument containing
the path to the json file with the trace to be profiled. You can also specify the path to the output file via `--output-path ` -
if not specified, the output file will be saved as `profile.pb.gz`.
#### Example
```shell
cairo-profiler path/to/trace.json
```
> 📝 **Note**
>
> Trace needs to be in the correct format. See [trace.json](./crates/cairo-profiler/tests/data/call.json) as an example.
### Running pprof
To see results from the generated file you will need to install:
- [Go](https://go.dev/doc/install)
- [Graphviz](https://www.graphviz.org/download/)
- [pprof](https://github.com/google/pprof?tab=readme-ov-file#building-pprof)
and run:
```shell
go tool pprof -http=":8000" profile.pb.gz
```
This command will start a web server at the specified port that provides an interactive interface.
You can learn more about pprof usage options [here](https://github.com/google/pprof?tab=readme-ov-file#basic-usage).
## Roadmap
`cairo-profiler` is under active development! Expect a lot of new features to appear soon! 🔥
- [ ] Starknet calls profiling:
- [x] L2 resources - steps, memory holes, builtins, syscalls
- [ ] L1 resources - contract updates, L2 -> L1 messages
- [ ] Function level profiling:
- [x] Steps profiling
- [ ] Builtins profiling
- [ ] Memory holes profiling
- [x] Information about inlined functions
- [ ] Integrating with other tools:
- [x] Exposing `cairo-profiler` library to allow other tools to integrate
- [x] Integrating with [`snforge`](https://github.com/foundry-rs/starknet-foundry)
- [ ] Integrating with `cairo-test` and `cairo-run`
## Development
### Environment setup
You need to install: [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install), [Go](https://go.dev/doc/install),
[protoc](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation), [pprof](https://github.com/google/pprof?tab=readme-ov-file#building-pprof) and [Graphviz](https://graphviz.org/download).
### Running the binary
The binary can be run with:
```shell
cargo run
```
### Running tests
Tests can be run with:
```shell
cargo test
```
### Formatting and lints
`cairo-profiler` uses [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt) for formatting. You can run the formatter with:
```shell
cargo fmt
```
For linting, it uses [clippy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy). You can run it using our defined alias:
```shell
cargo lint
```
### Spelling
`cairo-profiler` uses [typos](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/typos-action) for spelling checks.
You can run the checker with
```shell
typos
```
Some typos can be automatically fixed by running
```shell
typos -w
```
