Bug 134643 – Web Inspector: Profiler disappeared

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

The profile which used to live in the timeline tab is now gone completely. Starting profiles programmatically is also impossible; console.profile() returns undefined

[Timothy Hatcher]

Profiles are now part of the Timeline and are captured when the timeline is recording. To see the profile data, click on the JavaScript and Events timeline which will show a data grid of all the recorded profiles.

Indeed, console.profile() is not working and I am working on making it record into the the timeline.

This is now only for layout tests. Maybe we should rename it, or at least include a comment so it is less ambiguous.

Was this called by any other ports, or just mac?

Typo: "tile" => "title"

Nit: ptrdiff_t? Sounds like you want just "int", or am I missing something?

Nit: ASCIILiteral

Nit: Initialize type to something, so it isn't random.

Nit: Unused? Seems like this can be removed.

This is causing fast/profiler/profile-with-no-title to crash in Debug builds, the JSC LegacyProfiler is asserting !title.isNull().
<http://build.webkit.org/results/Apple%20Mavericks%20Debug%20WK1%20(Tests)/r171195%20(6522)/fast/profiler/profile-with-no-title-crash-log.txt>

It looks like the Legacy Profiler allows null titles in stop profiling, and the tests pass in release, so it seems fine to remove the assert. But Tim, you may want to look deeper into this.

Thanks for the fix. It is correct that empty / null should work. In the past ConsoleAgent would substitute empty / null with a generated string. We don't do that now and just handle empty strings in the UI.

This includes an extra null check that isn’t helpful. I think it should just be two lines:

    ScriptExecutionContext* context = scriptExecutionContextFromExecState(scriptState);
    return context && context->isDocument() ? toDocument(context)->frame() : nullptr;

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorTimelineAgent.cpp:184

We really need a better idiom for iterating in reverse order. This ptrdiff_t and -1 stuff is super ugly. I want this to be:

    for (auto& record : m_pendingConsoleProfileRecords.reversed())

Or something like that.

Why do we need a local at all? Putting this into a single line might be cleaner.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorTimelineAgent.cpp:627
> +        const TimelineRecordEntry& parent = m_recordStack.last();

Why do we need a local at all? Putting this into a single line might be cleaner.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorTimelineAgent.cpp:653
>      if (!m_recordStack.isEmpty()) {

Should be early return.

> +    virtual void start(ErrorString* = nullptr, const int* maxCallStackDepth = nullptr) override;

Seems strange to needs these default values in an override. Are people actually calling these functions on this class rather than on the base class?

In a related question, can this class be marked final?

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorTimelineAgent.h:236
> +        TimelineRecordEntry()
> +            : type(TimelineRecordType::EventDispatch) { }

I’d put the braces vertically to match the other constructor just below.

If the check-webkit-style script allowed the “all in one line” style, that would be OK with me too.

But to me this looks like a hybrid.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorTimelineAgent.h:253
> +    TimelineRecordEntry createRecordEntry(PassRefPtr<Inspector::InspectorObject> data, TimelineRecordType, bool captureCallStack, Frame*);

Not sure the argument name “data” here is helpful.

Are we going to be able to delete these ever? If so, when?

Same question as above.
