Pahole: Analysing Memory Layout of Complex Data Structures with Ease
Sunday, 5th November 2023: Putting together this blog post feels like a positive stride! As I mentioned in the previous post, (core-to-core latency tool), I'm aiming to integrate more consistent writing into my routine. While it took a month to pen this down, it's progress from the previous year 😇. Hoping that the upward trend […]
I'm using the terminology of ion channels, compartments, and neurons, both for a change and to have some meaningful types (from the computational neuroscience domain where I currently work). Understanding nested data structures and their organization in memory layout Until now we focused on a single type Channel for brevity. By the way, when using pahole with shared libraries from a large production codebase, be sure to explore the CLI options for filtering data structures of particular interest.
