Gmod Profiler Example

ProfilerInit(100) -- Initalizes the profiler, and starts the watchdog timer. Allocates memory for 100 unique function profiles. We are only using 1.

local function ResetTimer()
    ProfilerKick()
end

timer.Create("ProfilerWatchdog", 1, 0, ResetTimer) -- Reset the watchdog timer every second
-- The timer kick interval can be decreased, but very small values will start to affect performance.
-- When this timer runs out, all time samples for each profile in memory will be written to the "profiles" folder in the root server directory.


local loop_profile = CreateProfile("CoolLoop") -- Create a new function profile.

function longloop()
    i = 0
    while i < 10000 do
        i = i + 1
    end
end

print("Test started")

j = 0

-- Lets get 1000 time samples for our function, and store it in the loop_profile
while j < 1000 do
    StartProfile(loop_profile)
    longloop()
    StopProfile(loop_profile)
    j = j + 1
end

print("Test done")
