 Luckily, in most cases the default max-steps boundary of 225 000 produces the traces of approximately that size
 for a single entry point.
 You can use ``-analyze-function=get_global_options`` together with ``-ftime-trace`` to narrow down analysis to a specific entry point.

+Performance analysis using ``perf``
+===================================

+`Perf <https://perfwiki.github.io/main/>`_ is an excellent tool for sampling-based profiling of an application.
+It's easy to start profiling, you only have 2 prerequisites.
+Build with ``-fno-omit-frame-pointer`` and debug info (``-g``).
+You can use release builds, but probably the easiest is to set the ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo``
+along with ``CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fno-omit-frame-pointer"`` when configuring ``llvm``.
+Here is how to `get started <https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html#quick-start>`_ if you are in trouble.
