 sterni (he/him) | then that's a hard no… | 19:20:35 |
 chreekat | Didn't I hear from mpickering in some talk recently that profiling mode is almost never what you want nowadays? You already get a bunch of great stuff "for free", and then when you want more you still don't usually want -fprof. I could be remembering this all wrong though | 19:21:25 |
 maralorn | No, that is completely correct. | 19:24:09 |
| maralorn | That’s why we should probably do something about it in nixpkgs. | 19:24:52 |
| maralorn | The problem is, that profiling builds had another ending. I don’t think simply building libraries twice with different flags would just work. | 19:25:37 |
| chreekat | Ahh that's a shame | 19:31:37 |
| maralorn | But I haven’t looked into it much. It might be quite feasible. | 19:39:42 |
| maralorn | But it would also be kinda a breaking change. Who knows whe relies on profiling builds. | 19:40:07 |

I could be remembering this all wrong though I'm told that nowadays you can also get flamegraphs without profiling builds | 20:02:09 |
| John Ericson | alexfmpe: you don't have perms on that library do you? :) | 20:04:21 |
| alexfmpe | Huh? Which lib | 20:08:28 |
| maralorn | Yes, but they are often relatively useless when not all your dependencies are compiled with -finfo-table-map. | 20:09:20 |
