Wachy

Overview:

Wachy is an innovative tool designed for dynamic tracing profiling on Linux systems. Leveraging eBPF technology, it offers an interactive UI that significantly enhances userspace performance debugging. Suitable for developers dealing with performance issues in compiled languages, Wachy stands out by providing crucial insights through a modern approach.

This tool is especially beneficial for those using C or C++ binaries, as it supports debugging symbols and allows for effective symbol demangling. With its focus on x86-64 architecture and the necessity for specific Linux kernel versions, Wachy is a great addition to the toolkit of developers looking to optimize their applications and streamline their debugging processes.

Features:

• Interactive eBPF Profiling: Utilize an engaging user interface for real-time performance debugging, helping developers identify bottlenecks easily.
• C/C++ Symbol Demangling: Automatically demangle C++ symbols, making it easier to interpret debugging information and enhance code analysis.
• Kernel Compatibility: Requires Linux kernel version 4.6 or later, ensuring access to essential eBPF features for improved performance insights.
• Support for Debugging Symbols: Works effectively with binaries that include debugging symbols, crucial for accurate tracing.
• Focused on x86-64 Architecture: Currently supports only x86-64 binaries, making it specialized but highly effective in this area.
• Contribution-Friendly: Encourages user contributions, allowing developers to shape the tool according to their needs and provide enhancements.
• Easy Installation and Compilation: Simplifies the setup process with clear installation instructions and required dependencies, facilitating quick deployment.
