An early Christmas present

According to the MonoDevelop survey (http://www.monodevelop.com/Survey_Results_2007), 477 people would like to have Profiling support integrated. So ... here it is :)


Some features:
  • Support for heap-shot and heap-buddy
  • Run a MonoDevelop project using a given profiler
  • Get profiling results of a process that is already running
  • Open existing snapshots (and auto detect the snapshot type)
  • Save snapshots
After my exams, I will add support for live profiling, using the new profiler that Massimiliano Mantione is working on (see blog post).

To try it out, you will need the svn version of MonoDevelop. Instructions and some more information can be found on the wiki: http://www.monodevelop.com/Profiling_support
