Collating Debug Events — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

0:19"We have all the code"^α

0:25Recap and plan for today

3:05(Blackboard) Problems related to performance counter visualization

3:32There's one straightforward approach to performance counter visualization that we could implement...

4:16...but it poses some problems

5:11We could sidestep the issue by building two separate views: one hierarchical, the other one a ranking of routines sorted by total decreasing execution time

8:40Implementing DEBUGOverlay by writing the usage code first

9:15Thinking aloud about the task

13:46(Blackboard) We'll support the display of multithreaded routines by segmenting the bar charts into lanes

23:45Figuring out the structures that will allow us to draw the charts

27:34Testing the new code

27:50Filling out the collation structures

28:39We'll use an arena to collate the debug events and records...

31:28...which means we'll be recollating all the data every frame

34:54Testing that we are still running. The memory we'll use for collation should be in place now

35:01Collating the debug information

39:53(Blackboard) Which event arrays are we going to process?

40:56“Sometimes programming just doesn't make sense.”^β

41:07Make CollateDebugRecords() loop over the debug event arrays from oldest to newest

43:51Processing the debug event arrays

44:45Multithreading and the possible lack of strict rdtsc serialization could interfere with the ordering of the events

45:16We'll draw a new set of bars after each frame marker

49:25We'll ignore all events preceding the first frame marker we encounter

50:20Figuring out the relative clock of events inside a frame

52:18"I liked how that completed to nothings"^γ

56:57andsz_ You could have made your loop this way: for(u32 EventArrayIndex = InvalidEventArrayIndex + 1; EventArrayIndex != InvalidEventArrayIndex; EventArrayIndex = (EventArrayIndex + 1) % MAX_DEBUG_FRAME_COUNT) { ... }; Or did you want to save the modulo?
