Slow Function Warning

This crate provides a procedural macro to inject timers into functions and print a warning if it takes longer than expected. It can be particularly useful for debugging performance issues during development.

This is not meant to be a benchmarking tool, but rather a way to detect potential performance issues in your code.

For example my use case was for developing a game in Bevy and I've added this to all my systems to detect if any game system function takes longer than a 1ms.

Usage

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
slow_function_warning = "0.4.0"

# For wasm targets
[target.'cfg(target_family = "wasm")'.dependencies]
web-time = "1"

Basic Example

#[slow_function_warning(1000ms)] // Warn if the function takes longer than 1000 milliseconds
fn example_function() {
    // Function implementation
}

The warning is not on by default and is only recommended for debugging purposes. To enable it use the slow_function_warning feature.

cargo run --features slow_function_warning/enabled

Custom Message Example

// Warn if the function takes longer than a second with a custom message
#[slow_function_warning(1s, println!("Function {function} took too long!"))]
fn example_function() {
    // Function implementation
}

You can also use the function parameters in your message:

// Warn if the function takes longer than a second with a custom message
#[debug_slow_function_warning(1s, println!("Function {function} took {millis} for {} values!", values.len()))]
fn sort(values: &Vec<u32>) {
    // Function implementation
}

Duration Syntax

You can specify the duration using numeric literals followed by a suffix:

  • ns for nanoseconds
  • ms for milliseconds
  • s for seconds
  • m for minutes
  • h for hours
  • d for days

Available Variables

  • module: String - The name of the module
  • function: String - The name of the function
  • elapsed: Duration - The elapsed time
  • nanos: u64 - The elapsed time in nanoseconds
  • ns: u64 - The elapsed time in nanoseconds
  • millis: u64 - The elapsed time in milliseconds
  • ms: u64 - The elapsed time in milliseconds
  • secs: u64 - The elapsed time in seconds
  • s: u64 - The elapsed time in seconds

How it works

This is a procedural macro that takes the content of a function and places it in a closure, executes it and times how long it took.

// Warn if the function takes longer than a second with a custom message
#[debug_slow_function_warning(1s, println!("Function {function} took too long!"))]
fn example_function() {
    let x = 10;
}

Becomes:

fn example_function() {
    let closure = || {
        let x = 10;
    };
    #[cfg(not(target_family = "wasm"))]
    let start = std::time::Instant::now();
    #[cfg(target_family = "wasm")]
    let start = web_time::Instant::now();
    let result = closure();
    if start.elapsed().as_nanos() > 1000000 {
        let module = "module name";
        let function = "example_function";
        let elapsed = start.elapsed();
        let ns = elapsed.as_nanos();
        let nanos = ns;
        let ms = elapsed.as_millis();
        let millis = ms;
        let s = elapsed.as_secs();
        let secs = s;
        println!("Function {function} took too long!")
    }
    result
}
