GLMakie + ProfileView.jl segmentation fault

filchristou · September 19, 2025, 5:43pm

After switching to Makie v0.24, I noticed that it no longer plays well with ProfileView.jl
But at the moment I am not really sure, whether that is my laptop’s issue or even something coming from ProfileView.jl ?
Could you please try and reproduce to see what behavior you are getting ?

I actually also run into this and found out that it’s easier to plot the profile with glmakie than debugging the segfault… I created a package but never published it.
Could try to publish it in the next days as a workaround;)

Here you go: GitHub - SimonDanisch/ProfileViewMakie.jl: ProfileView functionality for Makie

thanks !!! It works nice. Just need an esc to work like ProfileView.jl . I made a PR to your repo
