Hi everyone,

I’ve ported Shugo M. excellent ruby-prof C extension to Windows.  
ruby-prof is a code profiler like the built-in ruby profiler but is  
orders of magnitude faster.

I’ve sent my patch to Shugo. In the meantime, I’ve posted a Windows  
binary on my website for those who are interested. I’ve also written up  
an article about the changes I had to make which were fairly extensive.  
See:

Hope people find this helpful,

Thanks,

Charlie

Your patch is huge, and most of it seems to be for identical lines  
(like the license section).

Hi Eric,

Sorry about that, I’m not sure how I managed that.

Anyway, Shugo and I have been working together and have moved RubyProf  
Ruby SourceForge at [http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-prof/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-prof/).

We’ll package up RubyProf as a gem and should have an updated copy with  
call graph support pretty soon.
