    Visual Studio's built-in profiler is an ok sampling profiler. It doesn't give you a nice multi-thread view which is a huge advantage to a span based profiler.

    MTuner is quite nice for debugging memory usage. Which is another gaping hole in the Rust ecosystem. https://github.com/milostosic/mtuner

    Lots of tools generate data in a format viewable by the Chrome trace viewer. I think Chrome's tracer viewer is not great. Maybe someday someone will create a viewer for the format that's good. I get cranky when large traces don't render at 60fps. Web-based viewers are almost all very very slow and it makes me sad.

    Okay, time to start unit tests!!! We will use Unity Test Framework to do unit testing. It is one of widely used testing frameworks alongside with Check, Google Test etc. Just downloading source code, and putting it to the project folder is enough to make it work (that is also why it is portable).

    Roy's project uses Google Test, a C++ testing framework. His testing setup is similar to mine as we both keep source files in one directory and tests in another. The key difference is that I can run the tests using the Visual Studios run button. It was fairly easy to write the new tests as there were existing ones that I could reference to check the syntax!

    Not sure about CppUnit but I can speak to my previous experience using the googletest framework which compiles your tests to an executable, and since it's a very simple framework we were able to cross-compile and run directly on our device. We just had to hook up a device to the server that was running the CI so it could flash it when needed. That basically meant that our process was:

    However, you can use a unit test framework like GoogleTest or Catch2 whic creates a main() function for you which allows you to run single functions, as long as they have been created through some preprocessor macros. Then you can use a VS Code test adapter like this or this which may let you run a single test by right clicking it directly in VS Code.

    Make sure you write unit tests, I use gtest but catch2 is also good.
