The code to import trace formatted events intentionally re-orders events in order to make it easier at flamegraph construction time to order the pushes and pops of frames.
It turns out that this re-ordering results in incorrect flamegraphs being generated as shown in #251.
This PR fixes this by avoiding re-ordering in situations where it isn't necessary.
This PR introduces support for importing JSON based profiles that are missing a terminating `]` (and possibly have an extraneous `,`).
This is similar to #202, but takes a much more targeted and simple approach.
I'm confident that this approach is sufficient because this is exactly what `chrome://tracing` does: 27e047e049/tracing/tracing/extras/importer/trace_event_importer.html (L197-L208)Fixes#204
In #194, I added code to support import of multithreaded profiles from Chrome 70. I'm now doing some profiling work on an older version of Android chrome, and it seems like the profile objects don't yet have `id` properties. Instead, we should try using the `pid/tid` pair to identify profiles when the `id` field is absent.
This was tested against a profile import from Android Chrome 66.
this's will lack `com.apple.xray.owner.template` in instruments archive data where run instruments with command line.
like:
1. run`instruments -t Template.tracetemplate -D demo.trace -l 10000 -w test.app`
2. drag `demo.trace` into `https://www.speedscope.app`
3. alert `Unrecognized format! See documentation about supported formats`
The spec for the Trace Event Format technically requires that all entries have "ts" values, and they do in the profiles recorded using chrome://tracing. We don't actually use those values in the case of "M" (metadata) events, however, and they're semantically meaningless as far as I can tell, so let's stop requiring them.
This allows the files that @aras-p provided in #77 to import successfully.
Fixes#77
This PR implements basic import of profiles from the "Trace Event Format", which is used by `chrome://tracing`, but also which many other tools target as a convenient event tracing format. The spec can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CvAClvFfyA5R-PhYUmn5OOQtYMH4h6I0nSsKchNAySU/preview#heading=h.xqopa5m0e28f.
The standard supports a broad set of events, some of which don't yet have any practical way to visualize them in speedscope. This PR implements support for the `B`, `E`, and `X` events, as well as gathering process and thread names via some of the `M` events.
This work was motivated by a generous donation to /dev/color by @aras-p: https://github.com/jlfwong/speedscope/issues/77#issuecomment-455077014Fixes#77
In #160, I wrote code which incorrectly assumed that at most one profile would be active at a time. It turns out this assumption is incorrect because of webworkers! This PR introduces a fix which correctly separates samples taken on the main thread from samples taken on worker threads, and allows viewing both in speedscope.
Fixes#171
Fixes#182 by adding support for importing the JSON profiling format created by GHC's built in profiling support when the executable is passed the `-pj` option. Produces a profile group containing both a time and allocation profile.
Unfortunately, GHC doesn't provide the raw sample information to get the time view to be useful, so only left heavy and sandwich are useful.
Includes a test profile, and I've also tested it on a more real large 2MB profile file in the UI and it works great.
I also modified the Readme to link to a wiki page I'm unable to create, but that should have something like this content copy-pasted into it:
# Importing from Haskell
GHC provides built in profiling support that can export a JSON file.
In order to do this you need to compile your executable with profiling
support and then pass the `-pj` RTS flag to the executable.
This will produce a `my-binary.prof` file in the current directory which
you can import into speedscope.
## Using GHC
See the [GHC manual page on profiling](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/profiling.html)
for more extensive information on the command line flags available.
```
$ ghc -prof -fprof-auto -rtsopts Main.hs
$ ./Main +RTS -pj -RTS
```
## Using Stack
### With executables
```
$ stack build --profile
$ stack exec -- my-executable +RTS -pj -RTS
```
### With tests
```
stack test --profile --test-arguments "+RTS -pj -RTS"
```
This PR adds support for importing from Google's pprof format, which is a gzipped, protobuf encoded file format (that's incredibly well documented!) The [pprof http library](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/) also offers an output of the trace file format, which continues to not be supported in speedscope to date (See #77). This will allow importing of profiles generated by the standard library go profiler for analysis of profiles containing heap allocation information, CPU profile information, and a few other things like coroutine creation information.
In order to add support for that a number of dependent bits of functionality were added, which should each provide an easier path for future binary input sources
- A protobuf decoding library was included ([protobufjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/protobufjs)) which includes both a protobuf parser generator based on a .proto file & TypeScript definition generation from the resulting generated JavaScript file
- More generic binary file import. Before this PR, all supported sources were plaintext, with the exception of Instruments 10 support, which takes a totally different codepath. Now binary file import should work when files are dropped, opened via file browsing, or opened via invocation of the speedscope CLI.
- Transparent gzip decoding of imported files (this means that if you were to gzip compress another JSON file, then importing it should still work fine)
Fixes#60.

This is a [donation motivated](https://github.com/jlfwong/speedscope/issues/60#issuecomment-419660710) PR motivated by donations by @davecheney & @jmoiron to [/dev/color](https://www.devcolor.org/welcome) 🎉
This PR fixes#159, and also fixes various small things about how profiles were imported for previous versions of Chrome & for Firefox.
The Chrome 69 format splits profiles across several [Trace Event Format](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CvAClvFfyA5R-PhYUmn5OOQtYMH4h6I0nSsKchNAySU/preview) events. There are two relevant events: "Profile" and "ProfileChunk". At first read through a profile, it seems like profiles are incorrectly terminated, but it seems like the cause of that is that, for whatever reason, events in the event log are not always sorted in chronological order. If sorted chronologically, then the event sequence can be parsed sensibly.
In the process of looking at this information, I also discovered that speedscope's chrome importer was incorrectly interpreting the value of the first element in `timeDeltas` array. It's intended to be the elapsed time since the start of the profile, not the time between the first pair of samples. This changes the weight attributed to the first sample.
Looks like Firefox also generates locations with names like
`bound (self-hosted:951:0)`. We check for `self-hosted`, but not for
`self-hosted` with stuff after it following a colon. We should ignore
these too, otherwise we can end up with stuff on our stack that we don't
expect. This was causing Firefox profiles not to load because we
completed building the profile with a non-empty stack.
Attached is a profile that errors without this patch and successfully renders
with this patch.

More broadly, this just supports multiple profiles loaded into the editor in the same time, which supports import from profiles which are multithreaded by importing each thread as a different profile.
For now, the only two file formats that support multiprocess import are Instruments .trace files and speedscope's own file format
In the process of doing this, I refactored the container code considerably and extracted all the dispatch calls into containers rather than them being part of the non-container view code. This is nice because it means that views don't have to be aware of which Flamechart they are or which profile index is being operated upon.

This is being done in preparation for writing a format from rbspy to import into speedscope, whose internal file format is a list of stacks (111689fe13/src/storage/v1.rs (L13))
For now, speedscope will always export the evented format rather than the sampled format, but will accept either as input. I also added tests for existing versions of the file format to ensure I don't accidentally drop support for a past version of the file format.
I knew early on that `integeruniquer.index` could be used to index into `integeruniquer.data`, but I initially thought it was an optimization rather than a necessity. It seems like if there's data past the 1MB threshold in `integeruniquer.data`, then `integeruniquer.index` is actually quite useful.
The file seems to contain `[byte offset, MB offset]` pairs encoded as two 32 bit unsigned little endian integers. Using that to decode the integer arrays encoded in `integeruniquer.data` allows the file in #63 to load.
Fixes#63
#33 added support for importing from instruments indirectly via opening instruments and using the deep copy command. This PR adds support for importing `.trace` files directly, though only for time profiles specifically, and only for the highest sample count thread in the profile.
This PR adds `.trace` files from Instruments 9, and adds support for importing from either Instruments 8 and 9. The only major difference in the file format seems to be that Instruments 9 applies raw `zlib` compression generously throughout the file.
This PR also adds example `.trace` files for memory allocations, which are not supported for direct import. They use a totally different storage format for recording memory allocations, and I haven't yet figured out how that list of allocations references their corresponding callstack.
Lastly, this PR also adds examples from Instruments 7 since I happen to have a machine with an old version of Instruments. Import from Instruments 7 probably wouldn't be hard to add, but I haven't done that in this PR.
This currently only works in Chrome, and only via drag-and-drop of the files.
To test, drag the decompressed `simple-time-profile.trace` from 6016d970b9/sample/profiles/Instruments/9.3.1/simple-time-profile.trace.zip onto speedscope.
The result should be this:
Fixes#15
This should help keep things organized as speedscope supports more languages & more formats
Test Plan: Try importing from every single file type, see that the link to load the example profile still works
