A full summary of static measurements (code size, stack usage, etc) can now
be found with:
make summary
This is done through the combination of a new ./scripts/summary.py
script and the ability of existing scripts to merge into existing csv
files, allowing multiple results to be merged either in a pipeline, or
in parallel with a single ./script/summary.py call.
The ./scripts/summary.py script can also be used to quickly compare
different builds or configurations. This is a proper implementation
of a similar but hacky shell script that has already been very useful
for making optimization decisions:
$ ./scripts/structs.py new.csv -d old.csv --summary
name (2 added, 0 removed) code stack structs
TOTAL 28648 (-2.7%) 2448 1012
Also some other small tweaks to scripts:
- Removed state saving diff rules. This isn't the most useful way to
handle comparing changes.
- Added short flags for --summary (-Y) and --files (-F), since these
are quite often used.
- Added -L/--depth argument to show dependencies for scripts/stack.py,
this replaces calls.py
- Additional internal restructuring to avoid repeated code
- Removed incorrect diff percentage when there is no actual size
- Consistent percentage rendering in test.py
This required a patch to the --diff flag for the scripts to ignore
a missing file. This enables the useful one liner for making comparisons
with potentially missing previous versions:
./scripts/code.py lfs.o -d lfs.o.code.csv -o lfs.o.code.csv
function (0 added, 0 removed) old new diff
TOTAL 25476 25476 +0
One downside, these previous files are easy to delete as a part of make
clean, which limits their usefulness for comparing configuration
changes...
Note this detects loops (recursion), and renders this as infinity.
Currently littlefs does have a single recursive function and you can see
how this infects the full call graph. Eventually this should be removed.
This is to avoid unexpected script behavior even though data.py should
always return 0 bytes for littlefs. Maybe a check for this should be
added to CI?
