What problem does it solve?

OCaml developers often struggle to understand where allocations and boxing occur, hindering performance improvements. This Skill provides a structured approach to instrument code with memtrace to reveal allocation hotspots and guide targeted optimizations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Instrument OCaml executables with memtrace to capture allocation traces.
  • Run targeted benchmarks to isolate hotspots, boxing overhead, and function hot paths.
  • Identify hotspot locations and validate optimizations with before/after comparisons.
  • Visualize traces with memtrace-viewer or hotspot tooling to drive data-informed improvements.

Quick Start

Use Memtrace to instrument your OCaml project: add Memtrace.trace_if_requested () at program startup, build with dune, run with MEMTRACE=trace.ctf, and analyze the resulting trace to locate allocation hotspots.
