See++ Compiler Profiler

Visual C/C++ Profiler for Clang 9 or higher. Using the flag -ftime-trace (see Clang 9 release notes) Clang will create a time report (.json) next to the generated .obj file. Within See++ Compiler Profiler multiple reports can be aggregated in one single view, giving valuable information at a project scale.

It will help identify and track how includes, templates, function instantiations, etc. perform inside the compiler, being able to pinpoint the most expensive ones (or anything of particular interest, really).

Usage

Drag or open the folders and files to be inspected. All the files will be parsed (this can take some time if the project is really big) and the overview window will show up with a full recap for all translation units found.

The graphs on top can be used to switch between the different categories in order to visualize more specific data.

Any row can be double-clicked to visualize the actual timeline for the given translation unit or for the translation unit that contains the worst offender (for source, class, function...).
