jit-times is a tool to process methods.txt file produced by Xamarin.Android applications

Usage: jit-times.exe OPTIONS* <methods-file>

Processes JIT methods file from XA app with debug.mono.log=timing enabled

Copyright 2019 Microsoft Corporation

Options:
  -h, --help, -?             Show this message and exit
  -m, --method=TYPE-REGEX    Process only methods whose names match TYPE-REGEX.
  -s                         Sort by self times. (this is default ordering)
  -t                         Sort by total times.
  -u                         Show unsorted results.
  -v, --verbose              Output information about progress during the run

Getting the methods.txt file

The methods.txt file can be aquired from Xamarin.Android application like this:

• Enable debug.mono.log

  adb shell setprop debug.mono.log timing

• Run the application

• Collect the file - replace the ${PACKAGE} with your application package name

  adb shell run-as ${PACKAGE} cat /data/data/${PACKAGE}/files/.__override__/methods.txt > methods.txt

Example usage:

• Display JIT times for System.Reflection.Emit methods

  mono jit-times.exe -m ^System.Reflection.Emit methods.txt
