gProfiler collects profiles function-based, i.e, each frame represents a function.
An alternative is to aggregate line-in-function, so each frame is
function:line
. This creates a graph that is more fragmented, but carries more information (for example: function A calling function B twice will now have 2 separate callstacks for B under A, allowing you to differentiate).Various profilers already support it (for example, py-spy does, as far as I'm aware). I want to start with support in Java (so async-profiler).
The feature requirements are:
--line-numbers
suffices.ProfilerState
and used by Profiler classes supporting it.JavaProfiler
, async-profiler alreadys supports line numbering, see code that extracts the BCI -> line numbers table here. It exists for JFR. As we're using the collapsed format, we can add this support to collapsed, like we added method modifers.:line_number
between the_[...]
suffix to the frame name itself.Note that line-of-function was added here: #821. This ticket is for line-in-function.
