It does much more than that! It tracks every single allocation and dumps it to a file that can later be analysed in many ways. Currently our reporters report peak memory (and leaked memory at the end of the execution) but technically any other reporter can be used. For example, we plan to allow to generate flame-graphs at arbitrary points in the execution and much more!

BTW I am starting a Slack for devs working on profilers, would be great to have you all join, I'd love to hear more about the ELF patching technique (Fil uses LD_PRELOAD and macOS equivalent).
Yeah, please hook me in! You know my email :)
I'm on vacation, will do Monday.
Cool! Fil also tracks every allocation too, although it doesn't dump that at the moment, just the resulting report.
Nice! Fil looks like an awesome profiler and is fantastic that works in other platforms. I am super excited to see more cool features and https://pythonspeed.com/sciagraph/ looks fantastic :)
