📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds tools/memlog.sh to measure compiler peak RSS per source file. The Clang build-profile workflow enables the launcher, combines memory records with analyzer output, and writes both to the metric JSON. Documentation describes local profiling setup and output.

Changes

Compiler memory profiling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Memlog launcher and record persistence `tools/memlog.sh`	The launcher identifies source and object paths, measures platform-specific compiler RSS, parses timing output, writes concurrent-safe JSON records, and preserves the compiler exit status.
Workflow metric integration and documentation `.github/workflows/shamrock-acpp-clang-build-profile.yml`, `doc/sphinx/source/dev_doc/build-profiling.md`	The workflow configures `memlog.sh`, installs GNU `time` when needed, includes peak-RSS data in build metrics, and uploads the report after metric generation. The documentation describes setup and record output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 94d02

The PR adds compiler memory profiling to CI, but the current implementation can add increasing build overhead and affect the accuracy of profiling results, while the artifact-upload dependency can change without a PR update. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Avoid a complete JSON rewrite for each compiler process.

Each compiler process loads and serializes all prior records while it holds the global lock. This creates quadratic file work and serializes compiler completions. It can extend the profile build and affect its measurements as the number of source files grows.

Write one record in constant time, such as a lock-protected JSONL record or a uniquely named file. Merge the records into compile_memory.json after shammake.
