JITProf Visualization

Wiki | Configuring | Checkers | Develop | Mailing List

This repository contains dynamic analyses for JavaScript code based on Jalangi2. It mainly consists of analyses ported from JITProf.

What is JITProf?

JITProf is a tool that tells you which part of your JavaScript code may be slow on JIT-engine. We call those slow code JIT-unfriendly code.

For more details, see this GitHub repository.

Why Visualization?

Existing JIT-unfriendly code detection tools simply dump a list of warnings. The warning messages contain the warning type, source location and some structured information that is specific to the type of problems detected (e.g., inconsistent hidden classes that cause inline cache miss etc.). Normally, to show the whole problem, a single warning can contain dozens or even hundreds of lines of text in the console. This makes debugging based on the warning message tedious and less productive. Visualizing warning generated by JITProf can hopefully make the debugging process more delightful and productive.
