:mod:`mozgeckoprofiler.rst` --- Gecko Profiler utilities
|
|
========================================================
|
|
|
|
This module contains various utilities to work with the IceCat Profiler, Gecko's
|
|
built-in performance profiler. Gecko itself records the profiles, and can dump them
|
|
out to file once the browser shuts down. This package takes those files, symbolicates
|
|
them (turns raw memory addresses into function or symbol names), and provides utilities
|
|
like opening up a locally stored profile in the IceCat Profiler interface. This
|
|
is done by serving the profiles locally, and opening a custom url in profiler.firefox.com.

The symbolication files were originally imported from the following repos,
|
|
with permission from their respective authors. However, since then the code has
|
|
been updated for usage within mozbase.

The dump_syms_mac binary was copied from the objdir of a IceCat build on Mac. It's a
|
|
byproduct of the regular IceCat build process and gets generated in objdir/dist/host/bin/.
