I&#39;ve been wanting to start a blog for a while, and finally decided to bite the bullet. The first article of hopefully many more to come is about, you guessed it, profiling &amp; optimization. Boosts appreciated! https://rovarma.com/articles/optimizing-libdwarf-eh-frame-enumeration/

@rovarma@mastodon.gamedev.place Very nice! Yay more blogs on performance optimization stories. And good to see not only the fixes, but also upstream PRs, ❤️

@rovarma@mastodon.gamedev.place What website framework are you using, if any? Every time I started looking into it,I never found one that would click with me and usually gave up.

@rovarma@mastodon.gamedev.place nice! It's almost like there is a gap in the market for a visual profiler for Linux that makes this stuff really obvious. Someone should probably make that; I'm sure your blogpost would be very useful to them! ;)

@rovarma@mastodon.gamedev.place is this eh-frame info also available when exceptions are disabled? and you have written that the info is ~3MB in your case, how big is the file in total, so how is the ratio between code and this info? but great article about low-level stuff, looking forward for the next one ;)

@rovarma@mastodon.gamedev.place eeek, I seem to miss some basis to be able to read through 😅 If you don't have a next topic already planned, you could write a crash course for people like me! I'll read the next post anyway tho, so great that you've started this! 💜
