Overview

Package pprof-garbage writes runtime profiling data in the format expected by the pprof visualization tool. The profile shows estimates for garbage allocations over a given time duration:

go tool pprof http://127.0.0.1:6000/debug/pprof/garbage?debug=1

See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16629 for more details.

Functions

func Garbage

func Garbage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)

Garbage returns an HTTP handler that serves the garbage profile.

func WriteGarbageProfile

func WriteGarbageProfile(w io.Writer, duration time.Duration, debug bool)

WriteGarbageProfile writes a pprof-formatted snapshot of the garbage profile to w. The profile runs twice as long as duration: the first half is calculating the GC period for the duration. The debug parameter enables additional output.
