MSBuild Flame Graph

Explore MSBuild executions to find why your C++ builds are slow.

This is the flame graph for a default Visual Studio 2015 C++ project:

Flame Graph: default Visual Studio 2015

This graph represents a build from this repository.

Flame Graph: Bruce Dawson's parallel projects

I wrote about the steps I took to build the initial version of the tool in this post series.

Features

  • Uses MSBuild 15: builds VS2015 and VS2017 C++ projects.
  • Processes /Bt+ and /time+ MSVC flags: Flame Graph: /Bt+ and /time+
  • Processes /d1reportTime MSVC flag (exclusive to VS2017 projects): Flame Graph: /d1reportTime
  • Builds projects into an Events.json file, converts it into Trace.json in a separate step.
  • Can theoretically build other MSBuild-based projects, but is only tested on C++ ones.

Getting started

  • Install Visual Studio 2017+ Community Edition.
  • Install .NET Framework v4.6.2 SDK.
  • Clone repository.
  • Open solution, build and run.

Codebase overview

Should you want to explore what's in the repository, these are the main parts:

Projects

  • Builder: contains the UI (built in WPF) to interact with the tool.
  • MSBuildWrapper: defines MSBuild loggers, interacts with MSBuild API and converts MSBuild events to custom abstractions.
  • BuildTimeline: represents timelines and everything it needs, from events to entries.
  • TimelineSerializer: includes a way to convert a Timeline to a Google Chrome's trace. New trace formats can be added.
  • Model: represents data to be used by other projects.

Main flow

  • As part of MSBuildWrapper/Compilation/Compilation.cs, when a build starts every MSBuild event is displayed in the UI and gets stored in memory.
  • When the build finishes, most events get converted into a custom format (some events and properties are discarded).
  • When the build is finished, Builder/ViewModel/Commands.cs stores every custom event in an Events.json file.
  • A Trace.json file can be exported from an Events.json file via Builder/ViewModel/Commands.cs. This is useful to build different timelines (even to different formats) without having to repeat the build.
