Heap snapshots data size is counted twice. See the attached screenshot. The heap snapshot data is actually takes 208MB, but NMI reports 416MB.
To reproduce just open the profiler, take a heap snapshot and look at the native memory chart.

It is not clear for me what was the case.

I mean what was the mechanic of this double counting.

static variable will not work for workers.

There are two instances of InspectorProfilerAgent, so addPrivateBuffer is called twice.

Sorry, could you please elaborate. Why not?

The profiler agent can belong to a dedicated worker that lives on its own thread and ScriptProfilerSingletonProxy can be called concurrently.

Yes, but this class is an empty POD that has neither constructor nor destructor. I think empty functions can be considered thread safe. I don't want to use DEFINE_STATIC_LOCAL here because in this case its initialization with a heap object may cause a real race condition leading two objects being allocated. I can see hundreds of function static data used across WebKit without DEFINE_STATIC_LOCAL.

it looks like a hack.
I'd rather add objectType parameter with default value 0 to addPrivateBuffer method.

Sounds like the second approach we discussed with Alexei, let's implement it instead.
