Usage:
1. Declaring a dependency on gperftools
2. Choosing which gperftools features you want

This package provides version 2.1 of Google Perftools as a catkin package for ROS Hydro (Indigo coming).

Usage:

Unlike most catkin packages, using gperftools is a three-step process. You must declare a dependency on gperftools in your package.xml and in your CMakeLists, and your must specify which gperftools features you want to use.

Declaring a dependency on gperftools

Add build and run dependencies to your package.xml:

<build_depend>gperftools_21</build_depend>
<run_depend>gperftools_21</run_depend>

Add gperftools_21 to the list of catkin conponents in your CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
   gperftools_21
   # other catkin components ...
)

Choosing which gperftools features you want

You can choose to use tcmalloc, the gperftools profiler, or both.

tcmalloc:

target_link_libraries(your_target ${GPERFTOOLS_TCMALLOC})

profiler:

target_link_libraries(your_target ${GPERFTOOLS_PROFILER})

both:

target_link_libraries(your_target ${GPERFTOOLS_TCMALLOC_AND_PROFILER})
