This PR adds a CLI command for profiling a single runtime benchmark. Currently, running a single benchmark function under
cachegrind
is supported. Later, I want to make the cachegrind profiling more precise with cachegrind client requests that would only profile the part of the benchmark group where the benchmark function actually runs (so without initialization, CLI parsing,e tc.). I also want to add cachegrind diff functionality in a followup PR to compare instructions executed by a runtime benchmark compiled by two different compiler versions.I named the command just
profile_runtime
instead ofprofile_local_runtime
. Profiling of "remote" artifacts doesn't really make sense, so I think thatprofile_local
should also be renamed toprofile_compile
or something like that.
