cargo-asm VS tiny-skia

cargo asm might be useful here (if you can't use godbolt).

They should be inlined in release mode. You'd have to verify by checking the assembly, though, which could be done directly in the Rust playground or with a tool like cargo-asm.

You can use cargo asm - not sure if you can integrate it with VSCode, but even from a terminal it's a pretty convenient tool.

There's probably a built-in one somewhere, but I suspect it'd be easier just to install https://github.com/gnzlbg/cargo-asm

I don't know if there's a way to do a side by side comparison but cargo-asm uses the source mapping information from rustc to annotate chunks of assembly with it's respective rust code, though it's an imperfect process.

After that you would need some tools to help figure out how to achieve improvements. That will depend on your system and personal preferences. As the other commenter suggested, perf is a good choice on linux. I personally like to look at the generated assembly, using either cargo asm, godbolt, or just rust playground.

Doesn't this already exist? https://github.com/gnzlbg/cargo-asm

From the flamegraph, we knew which function was taking the majority of the time, which we briefly described above. We started by looking at the assembly code it generated to see if there were any opportunities to make it faster. We did this with cargo-asm.

You're best bet at the moment is probably using cargo-asm to inspect the function assembly to see when it is performing the correct TCO.

You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.

Looking through the source code. It looks like it's using tiny-skia for rendering.

Tiny Skia (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia) which is a slower Rust port of Skia and does all software rendering.

https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia is pretty great.

I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Here is a real world implementation in tiny-skia: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia/blob/master/src/pipeline/highp.rs

How about tiny-skia?

How about tiny-skia? Almost the same performance as C, no unsafe, a lot of explicit SIMD.

Now I would love to see a universal Bezier path crate, storage + common utilities like length, point at offset, some low-level stuff, etc. So it could be used as a foundation for other crates. Currently, there is a lot of friction because each crate has its own implementation.

Nice to see tiny-skia in use.
