Finding build bottlenecks with C++ Build Insights--Kevin Cadieux

Did you try it?

Finding build bottlenecks with C++ Build Insights

by Kevin Cadieux

From the article:

C++ Build Insights offers more than one way to investigate your C++ build times. In this article, we discuss two methods that you can use to identify bottlenecks in your builds: manually by using the vcperf analysis tool, or programmatically with the C++ Build Insights SDK. We present a case study that shows how to use these tools to speed up the Git for Windows open source project. We hope these tutorials will come in handy when analyzing your own builds...
