Could you build this?

Partial Refactoring Sean Barrett's C/C++ lightweight profiler (iprof) to strip out its OpenGL rendering backend requires specialized low-level graphics and systems programming knowledge, though the codebase itself is compact.

What it would actually take: Requires understanding C/C++ memory profiling data structures and headless rendering or replacement with another visualization layer. The hard part is decoupling tightly integrated OpenGL immediate-mode draw calls without breaking call graph timing hooks, requiring solid C systems and graphics pipeline knowledge.
