Tequila 1.1

Posted on: 2023/6/13 19:54 #1

Just can't stay away

I'm creating a new thread for Tequila so it's easier to keep all related information in one place if there will be future updates.

Version 1.1 is the latest version. Download links: Github and Kapsi mirror.

Previous discussion: here.

Change history:

1.1:
- Add custom rendering.
- Add locale support.
- Add Finnish and Italian (by samo79) catalogs.
- Display task switches / second.
- Display Forbid percentage.
- Display "(task)" instead of PID 0 for pure tasks.
- Fix occasional issue with unfreed signals at exit.
- Fix occasional freeze during listbrowser.gadget update.
- Reduce heap memory usage.
- Optimize string handling.
- Use Forbid() instead of Disable() when reading task lists.

With special thanks to joerg: some v1.1 features are based on his "top" tool.

1.0:
- First release.

That's really nice. I haven't tested that yet, but I have seen the screenshot at http://capehill.kapsi.fi/top/tequila.png
and I have some questions.

1. In that screenshot at the top it says "Tasks 109" but the list has only 5. I guess the rest are filtered out. Can you share what is the difference and why the are not in the list?
2. What are the features you plan to add to the app?
3. What is the "Display Forbid percentage"? Can you explain a little bit about what exactly that counts?
4. Is it possible to show the amount of Ram an application reserves while running?

Thank you so much for this awesome new app

Thanks.

1. Tequila is primitive: it checks which task is running (default frequency 5000 Hz). Most tasks are just waiting for some signal so they don't appear on the list. It was mentioned that internally kernel is tracking the CPU per task but this information is not publicly available so I cannot use it.

2. Function profiling doesn't work. Luckily, there has been an updated version of Hieronymus tool and a new tool called Profyler which should help developers who need to profile their programs.

3. Forbid state means that task switching (multitasking) is disabled. High forbid % might mean something is wrong in the system, maybe something is calling Forbid() too much. So, if Tequila finds that task switching is disabled 50 times out of 5000, this equals to "Forbid 1%".

4. I think there are no public APIs to do that, so it would be hard. I don't want to patch system functions (Alloc*).

Awesome little tool.

CUSTOMRENDERING tooltype overwrites the detail columns on the right when there is a long taskname (e.g. Background[CLI] SYS:Prefs/CANDI/CANDItheme/etc.), though, while normal rendering simply cuts the name off once the detail columns start.

Thanks for testing.

Yeah, it has some issues. I have been planning to add some option to strip the path part away.

I just tried a little test in (maybe old) AOS4 for WinUAE. While in Forbid() state It counts 10000 times the number of nodes in sysbase->taskready (it is consistent with what is shown by ranger or scout). Nothing else. Then it sleeps a bit and repeats (until ctrl-c pressed). Most of the time the 10000 results are the same. Every once and then they are not!

Confirmed. Seems I will need to revert back Disable/Enable.

Not too shy to talk

Hi Capehill,

Thanks for a really handy program!

A really nice way to see what's happening on your Amiga.

One little thing I keep seeing when I start Tequilla from the
shell (even from inside the Tequilla dir), the Workbench or
AmiDock... I typically get a console output/window with this
line:

Failed to open catalog (205)

I'm running a fairly basic OS4 (old beta) install with the US
english locale.

Any ideas what might be missing?

Thanks again,

PJS

@pjs

tries to load/find tequila.catalog, you don't have it (and don't need) thus prits such "error".


if (locale) {

            //printf("%s\n", locale->loc_LanguageName);

            catalog = ILocale->OpenCatalog(NULL, "tequila.catalog",

                                           TAG_DONE);

            if (!catalog) {

                const LONG err = IDOS->IoErr();

                if (err != 0) {

                    printf("Failed to open catalog (%ld)\n", err);

                }

            }

@jabirulo

You probably shouldn't give an error for failing to find a catalog, but instead just silently fall back to your builtin strings.

Best regards,

Niels

tequila is Capehill's tool. it's code is on github.

But I agree it shouldn't print any error (maybe only in debugging mode)
