Details

We should be able to symbolicate profiles in tree, without requiring an addon. On OSX/Linux we can use https://github.com/gimli-rs/gimli. On Windows, we can use the system symbolication APIs. We should probably wrap these in a "one click", x-platform crate that we can drop into and call from m-c.

Bug 1528857 (if it lands) will allow symbolication of profiles directly from Firefox, but it is intended for developers:

  • It requires setting an environment variable "MOZ_PROFILER_SYMBOLICATE=1",
  • It adds significant pauses when gathering data,
  • It doesn't work well on Linux (and others?),
  • Frames are described differently.
    Hence the separate bug.

This bug here would still be nice to properly get fixed, to get consistent and cross-platform symbolication.
