Do we? ISTM that having IonMonkey compilation events exposed to devtools could be very nice for perf analysis tools.

*for now.

Even if we expose the data, we need to be able to make a distinction between "start script" and "annotate script".

Ok.

True.
Attached patch WIP: Add debugger hooks (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This adds the hooks needed for debugger:
- startTraceLogging();
- endTraceLogging();
- drainTraceLogging();

Currently drainTraceLogging returns: [{data:""}, {data: ""}, ...]. The format still needs to get adjusted to be somewhat closer to what was requested in bug 1065722 comment 2.

> var du = new Debugger();
> du.prepareTraceLogger({
>     Scripts: true
> });
> 
> du.startTraceLogging();
> 
> // some code
> 
> print(JSON.stringify(du.drainTraceLogging()));

e.g. now prints (with all patches):

[{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:8:10"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:27:10"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:41:13"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:41:13"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:41:13"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:41:13"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:41:13"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:48:14"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:48:14"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:48:14"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:41:13"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:57:14"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:57:14"},{"data":"Stop"},{"data":"script /tmp/test38.js:57:14"},{"data":"Stop"}]

I made the setupTraceLogger and drainTraceLogger nightly only, since these are not stable yet. I cannot guarantee the output won't change. I'm actually very confident it will still change and I don't want people rely on it yet.

The first idea is to use this for tracing. The idea is to support that and keep the this api as stable as possible.

Output of drainTraceLoggerTraces:

Except for TLThread::getEvents(), it seems to me that all TLThread::*debuggers* should belong to the Debugger itself (even naming of these members is a hint that it should), not to the TLThread, especially as TLThread::debuggerLostEvents() isn't used. TL shouldn't have to worry about its consumers losing events.

Could you instead hoist the creation of the "data" string and reuse the String value in all DefineProperty calls? This would avoid creating the special DefineProperty variant above.

Also, can you make "data" and all other string literals static constants in this file?

All the things inside this if() seem pretty bound to the format output by TL. Could you make it a function there?

As stated on IRC, i'd prefer all of these functions to be nightly-only, or none of them to be. Providing an incomplete API seems rather wonky. I'd like to get Nick's opinion here.
(whatever happens, can you group the nightly only functions together, please?)
Attachment #8505594 - Flags: review?(benj)
Attached patch Add hooks (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Addresses review comments.

1) Like discussed on IRC the DefineProperty helper function is still there. There was some confusing as to which char is getting copied. Though it resulted in using JSIDs for the function.

2) I don't agree on the fact that we should make them all or none nightly only.
IIRC we should try to not use "ifdef NIGHTLY_BUILD". And the setupTraceLoggerScriptCalls, drainTraceLoggerScriptCalls, startTraceLogger and endTraceLogger are all stable.

Now setupTraceLogger/drainTraceLogger is for curious hearts and to give an idea what we can log, but is an unstable API. Humans will be able to read the logs without problem, but creating scripts depending on the exact output it provides won't work. That is the reason I want it behind NIGHTLY_BUILD. So it gives the devtools something to play with and to push for a more stable API. (So it will possibly increase the adoption of tracelogger). But is mostly playground for now. That's the message I want to send with NIGHTLY_BUILD. Good to toy with. Currently don't depend on it.

If you don't agree with it, I would rather remove these two functions than the alternatives (make all tracelogger function nightly only or make these two function non-nightly).

So this is used by both drainTraceLogger and drainTraceLoggerScriptCalls, which is likely to confuse users if they interleave calls to these functions. That sounds like another argument for not keeping the drainTraceLogger nightly only functions, but if you want to keep them, would it make sense to use another pair of uint32?

This could be made in the debugger itself, as lostEvents(...) is public and its two arguments come from the outside. That would have the benefit to remove one arg to this function call and split responsibilities.

I would also think that once again, this is not TL's responsability to think about users losing events. The work made by getEvents(...) should be internalized by the Debugger. If you decide to reuse getEvents(), and use it along with iteration(), all this work could be done in the Debugger itself. Not blocking review on this, as i can see the advantage that this could be reused by TLGraph in the future.

I prefer not. This means "setup Tracelogger". No need for an object. EnableTraceLoggerScriptCalls would cause too much confusion with StartTraceLogger. People would think the TraceLogger would be already recording after doing EnableXXX. So I think setupXXX is still the best option.

TraceLogEnableTextId doesn't return a bool. So since it didn't fail it returns true to indicate setting up was successful. (In symmetry with plain setupTraceLogger which return false upon fail).

Found it a bit too specific to TL. So I didn't add it, currently. The fact you are also hesitant also made me not change it.
