For mach-nominated zig version 2024.5.0-mach

Tracy packaged for the zig build system. Compiles client & profiler.

• Does not provide zig bindings - you have to provide these yourself
  • Sample here: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/src/tracy.zig
  • Future solution: b.addTranslateC of the tracy c bindings?
• Does not support cross-compilation
  • Put tracy builds on a flag like -Denable_tracy to not break cross-compilation for your app
• TODO:
  • Compile tracy profiler for mac
  • Compile tracy profiler for windows

zig fetch --save=tracy https://github.com/pfgithub/zig-tracy/archive/LATEST_COMMIT_HASH.tar.gz

if (enable_tracy) {
    const tracy_dep = b.dependency("tracy", .{
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });

    app.compile.linkLibrary(tracy_dep.artifact("tracy_client"));

    // optional
    b.installArtifact(tracy_dep.artifact("tracy_profiler"));
}

  • brew install capstone
• (linux) System must have installed:
  • capstone-devel
