+// This header file defines the set of trace_event macros without specifying
+// how the events actually get collected and stored. If you need to expose trace
+// events to some other universe, you can copy-and-paste this file as well as
+// trace_event.h, modifying the macros contained there as necessary for the
+// target platform. The end result is that multiple libraries can funnel events
+// through to a shared trace event collector.
+
+// IMPORTANT: To avoid conflicts, if you need to modify this file for a library,
+// land your change in base/ first, and then copy-and-paste it.

// Trace events are for tracking application performance and resource usage.
// Macros are provided to track:
-// Duration of scoped regions
-// Instantaneous events
+// Begin and end of function calls
// Counters
//
-// The first two arguments to all TRACE macros are the category and name. Both are strings, and
-// must have application lifetime (statics or literals). The same applies to arg_names, and string
-// argument values. However, you can force a copy of a string argument value with TRACE_STR_COPY:
-// TRACE_EVENT1("category", "name", "arg1", "literal string is only referenced");
-// TRACE_EVENT1("category", "name", "arg1", TRACE_STR_COPY("string will be copied"));
+// Events are issued against categories. Whereas LOG's
+// categories are statically defined, TRACE categories are created
+// implicitly with a string. For example:
+// TRACE_EVENT_INSTANT0("MY_SUBSYSTEM", "SomeImportantEvent",
+// TRACE_EVENT_SCOPE_THREAD)
+//
+// It is often the case that one trace may belong in multiple categories at the
+// same time. The first argument to the trace can be a comma-separated list of
+// categories, forming a category group, like:
//
+// TRACE_EVENT_INSTANT0("input,views", "OnMouseOver", TRACE_EVENT_SCOPE_THREAD)
//
-// Categories are used to group events, and
-// can be enabled or disabled by the tracing framework. The trace system will automatically add the
-// process id, thread id, and microsecond timestamp to all events.
+// We can enable/disable tracing of OnMouseOver by enabling/disabling either
+// category.
//
+// Events can be INSTANT, or can be pairs of BEGIN and END in the same scope:
+// TRACE_EVENT_BEGIN0("MY_SUBSYSTEM", "SomethingCostly")
+// doSomethingCostly()
+// TRACE_EVENT_END0("MY_SUBSYSTEM", "SomethingCostly")
+// Note: our tools can't always determine the correct BEGIN/END pairs unless
+// these are used in the same scope. Use ASYNC_BEGIN/ASYNC_END macros if you
+// need them to be in separate scopes.
//
-// The TRACE_EVENT[0-2] macros trace the duration of entire scopes:
+// A common use case is to trace entire function scopes. This
+// issues a trace BEGIN and END automatically:
// void doSomethingCostly() {
// TRACE_EVENT0("MY_SUBSYSTEM", "doSomethingCostly");
// ...
@@ -30,25 +51,145 @@

// Additional parameters can be associated with an event:
// void doSomethingCostly2(int howMuch) {

+// TRACE_EVENT1("MY_SUBSYSTEM", "doSomethingCostly",
+// "howMuch", howMuch);
// ...
// }
//
+// The trace system will automatically add to this information the
+// current process id, thread id, and a timestamp in microseconds.
+//
+// To trace an asynchronous procedure such as an IPC send/receive, use
+// ASYNC_BEGIN and ASYNC_END:
+// [single threaded sender code]
+// static int send_count = 0;
+// ++send_count;
+// TRACE_EVENT_ASYNC_BEGIN0("ipc", "message", send_count);
+// Send(new MyMessage(send_count));
+// [receive code]
+// void OnMyMessage(send_count) {
+// TRACE_EVENT_ASYNC_END0("ipc", "message", send_count);
+// }
+// The third parameter is a unique ID to match ASYNC_BEGIN/ASYNC_END pairs.
+// ASYNC_BEGIN and ASYNC_END can occur on any thread of any traced process.
+// Pointers can be used for the ID parameter, and they will be mangled
+// internally so that the same pointer on two different processes will not
+// match. For example:
+// class MyTracedClass {
+// public:
+// MyTracedClass() {
+// TRACE_EVENT_ASYNC_BEGIN0("category", "MyTracedClass", this);

// Or you can do it with a combined macro:

-// "bytesAllocated", g_myCounterValue[1]);
-// The tracing UI will show these counters in a single graph, as a summed area chart.
+// "bytesPinned", g_myCounterValue[0],
+// "bytesAllocated", g_myCounterValue[1]);
+// This indicates to the tracing UI that these counters should be displayed
+// in a single graph, as a summed area chart.

+// Since counters are in a global namespace, you may want to disambiguate with a
+// unique ID, by using the TRACE_COUNTER_ID* variations.

+// By default, trace collection is compiled in, but turned off at runtime.
+// Collecting trace data is the responsibility of the embedding
+// application. In Chrome's case, navigating to about:tracing will turn on
+// tracing and display data collected across all active processes.
+//
+//
+// Memory scoping note:
+// Tracing copies the pointers, not the string content, of the strings passed
+// in for category_group, name, and arg_names. Thus, the following code will
+// cause problems:
+// char* str = strdup("importantName");
+// TRACE_EVENT_INSTANT0("SUBSYSTEM", str); // BAD!
+// free(str); // Trace system now has dangling pointer
+//
+// To avoid this issue with the |name| and |arg_name| parameters, use the
+// TRACE_EVENT_COPY_XXX overloads of the macros at additional runtime overhead.
+// Notes: The category must always be in a long-lived char* (i.e. static const).
+// The |arg_values|, when used, are always deep copied with the _COPY
+// macros.
+//
+// When are string argument values copied:
+// const char* arg_values are only referenced by default:
+// TRACE_EVENT1("category", "name",
+// "arg1", "literal string is only referenced");
+// Use TRACE_STR_COPY to force copying of a const char*:
+// TRACE_EVENT1("category", "name",
+// "arg1", TRACE_STR_COPY("string will be copied"));
+// std::string arg_values are always copied:
+// TRACE_EVENT1("category", "name",
+// "arg1", std::string("string will be copied"));
+//
+//
+// Convertable notes:
+// Converting a large data type to a string can be costly. To help with this,
+// the trace framework provides an interface ConvertableToTraceFormat. If you
+// inherit from it and implement the AppendAsTraceFormat method the trace
+// framework will call back to your object to convert a trace output time. This
+// means, if the category for the event is disabled, the conversion will not
+// happen.
+//
+// class MyData : public base::trace_event::ConvertableToTraceFormat {
+// public:
+// MyData() {}
+// void AppendAsTraceFormat(std::string* out) const override {
+// out->append("{\"foo\":1}");
+// }
+// private:
+// ~MyData() override {}
+// DISALLOW_COPY_AND_ASSIGN(MyData);
+// };
+//
+// TRACE_EVENT1("foo", "bar", "data",
+// scoped_refptr<ConvertableToTraceFormat>(new MyData()));
+//
+// The trace framework will take ownership if the passed pointer and it will
+// be free'd when the trace buffer is flushed.
+//
+// Note, we only do the conversion when the buffer is flushed, so the provided
+// data object should not be modified after it's passed to the trace framework.
+//
+//
+// Thread Safety:
+// A thread safe singleton and mutex are used for thread safety. Category
+// enabled flags are used to limit the performance impact when the system
+// is not enabled.
+//
+// TRACE_EVENT macros first cache a pointer to a category. The categories are
+// statically allocated and safe at all times, even after exit. Fetching a
+// category is protected by the TraceLog::lock_. Multiple threads initializing
+// the static variable is safe, as they will be serialized by the lock and
+// multiple calls will return the same pointer to the category.
+//
+// Then the category_group_enabled flag is checked. This is a unsigned char, and
+// not intended to be multithread safe. It optimizes access to AddTraceEvent
+// which is threadsafe internally via TraceLog::lock_. The enabled flag may
+// cause some threads to incorrectly call or skip calling AddTraceEvent near
+// the time of the system being enabled or disabled. This is acceptable as
+// we tolerate some data loss while the system is being enabled/disabled and
+// because AddTraceEvent is threadsafe internally and checks the enabled state
+// again under lock.
+//
+// Without the use of these static category pointers and enabled flags all
+// trace points would carry a significant performance cost of acquiring a lock
+// and resolving the category.
