71522 – JSC should be able to sample itself in a more flexible way than just sampling flags

RESOLVED FIXED 71522

JSC should be able to sample itself in a more flexible way than just sampling flags

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71522

Summary JSC should be able to sample itself in a more flexible way than just sampling...

Filip Pizlo

Reported 2011-11-03 17:04:16 PDT

Sampling flags are one of our most precise ways of measuring system overheads. But they are painfully low-level. Numbers from a narrow range need to be ascribed to each region of code being sampled. Hierarchical views of the data are not possible. JSC should have a more general way of doing sampling.

Comment on attachment 113586 [details] the patch One would hope that the SamplingRegion constructors would compile out to no code when the tool isn't enabled, I'm slightly concerned that C compilers might disappoint us yet again and we may need to hide these behind a macro. But if this isn't showing a regression right now then we can cross this bridge when we come to it. Please make the style bot happy.
