I'm trying to profile my program, built like:

dub build --build=profile

When I run the program, where is the performance profile file supposed to appear? I can find nothing new in the program/project root directory. This happens regardless whether I compile with dmd or ldc2.

If you want to use sampling profilers (like the free Intel Amplifier coming with System Studio) you can also use

dub build -b release-debug

And then check in your profiler.

No, I want to use the default profiler.

How? That's the question. If the program is compiled with a profiling switch, isn't the performance profile supposed to appear on program directry after it finishes, when running it just like normal?

The same thing happens when I try to get a coverage report: No file appears.
