jHiccup for .NET?

[Mark E. Dawson, Jr.]

Does there exist a port for, or a similar tool to, jHiccup for .NET?

[Gil Tene]

There is a great implementation of HdrHistogram for .NET, which makes the rest of what jHiccup does nearly-trivial to do. I think the main thing keeping from porting jHiccup itself to .NET is that it's most common use mode is as a java agent (adding hiccup recording to a java program without modifying it in any way), and AFAIK .NET does not have a similar agent mechanism.

jHiccup itself is fairly simple and should be easy to port into a library you can invoke from within your application, and into a standalone program (for measuring control hiccups on an otherwise idle process). It's main class is only ~800 lines of code, over half of it in comments and parameter parsing logic. People have replicated some of it's logic in their C# stuff before (e.g. Matt Warren used it here).

Gil,

Thanks for the prompt and helpful response!

I believe the .NET Profiling API provides something equivalent to the Java agent API.

If someone wants to work on it I have a profiler api implementation that could be a useful starting point. It supports both mono and the CLR (two separate implementations the mono one is in C the CLR C++)

If the .NET profiler api can be used to launch a managed code thread without modifying the application, then a simple port of the java agent code to C# should be possible. The hiccup observation must be done in managed code, and a separate thread, in order to observe the hiccups that an independent thread running such code would see.
