Ok, will do.

I further tested the near empty test project and when adding cmem or cthreads to the project source the application won't start when profiling and you get the profiler screen with all the zero counts.

Hmm,

The project_executable.lazprofiler_setting file does not get created for the big project so i think the error occurs before it is written to file. For the funcgen or test project it gets written (same output folder).

@GetMem: I uploaded an updated package. Could you please replace the old one?
Also done!  Package has to be updated by GetMem.
@Pascal, where are the original sources kept? There is some revision control system, right?
Your initial announcement only mentions the Online Package Manager repository as a download source.
I have a feeling you misuse the OpkMan and its admin GetMem as a revision control system. If so, then you have seriously misunderstood its purpose. It is meant for released packages. The actual development before a release must happen somewhere else.
GitHub seems to be the fashion of today but there are plenty of other good choices, too.

GetMem, please guide people when they misuse your OpkMan.

Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

I kindly asked GetMem if he is willing to add test(alpha/beta) versions, which he affirmed.
But you are right, i should set up a GitHub repo for this.

@GetMem: If it's okay to you, i've uploaded an updated version. If not, no matter.

Lazarus CCR is also a valid option. It has got a bad reputation because many of its projects' authors have fled. For the active maintainers however Subversion and the repository itself work very well.

Sources can be cleared with "Run > Cleanup Profiler" after studying the error.
Reading something like "Run > Cleanup Profiler and restore original files" would be more informative for me. If I didn't read it I would not link original message to restoring project files. What do you think? Any better idea?

These are Unix specific, aren't they? I have no clue what happens to the program when you add these units. I've never used Lazarus/FPC on Unix.

Could you test 0.1.2.0, please. It should not write instrumented files if backup of original source fails.

Thanks for the ingenuity and work that you have put into this, and for sharing the update. This is an impressive tool.
However, on Linux, I could only get it to compile by removing the "before compile" command. Which does not seem to affect functionality after very limited testing.

It only creats the runtime.lrs with the needed sources (LazProfilerRunTime.pas, LazProfilerCore.pas and epiktimer.pas).
It's only needed if you modify these sources.

I just tired to replace the "Before compile" command to:
Code: Text  [Select][+][-]
  1. $(LazarusDir)/tools/lazres runtime.lrs "LazProfilerRunTime.pas"=rt "LazProfilerCore.pas"=core "$PkgDir(etpackage)epiktimer.pas"=timer

It works on Windows. Can you give it a try on Linux?

Yes, I tried that replacement command, and it works fine on Linux (Mint).
(Earlier the compilation failure message I got pointed to a missing LazProfiler.compiled file, which (before any package compilation) seemed bound to be a file that would not be found).
