What kind of code microprofiling/benchmarking software do you guys use? I was wondering if anyone knew of any that can also be used as a separate tool (open source preferred but I dont mind proprietary) rather than already integrated into something like Visual Studio.

Edit: I would like it to support Windows and Linux. I mostly program in C right now, but expanding into other languages (e.g., Rust, Python)

    I might be going the wrong direction of “micro” here but time is the very minimal, tiny, and traditional unix way.

    For example:

    $ time curl https://lemmy.ca/post/61453347 > /dev/null
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100  175k    0  175k    0     0   525k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  526k

real    0m0.343s
user    0m0.030s
sys     0m0.016s

    There are also a large number of other profiling outputs you can ask time to spit out by passing it the appropriate command line flags.
