Hi all,
While looking at nofib, I've found a blog post from Neil Mitchell [1], which describes a Shake build system for nofib. The comments mentioned that this should get merged, but it seems that nothing actually happened? Is there some fundamental reason for that?
Indeed there is no fundamental reason and I think it would be great to make nofib a bit easier to run and modify. However, I think we should be careful to maintain some degree of compatibility. One of the nice properties of nofib is that it can be run against a wide range of compiler versions. It would be ashame if, for instance, Joachim's gipeda had to do different things to extract performance metrics from logs produced by logs pre- and post-Shake nofibs.
We could also create a cabal and stack files for `nofib-analyse` (making it possible to use some libraries for it).
This would be great. This would allow me to drop a submodule from my own performance monitoring tool. Cheers, - Ben
