1254552 - DMD auto-triggered threshold reports

Status: NEW

(Core :: DMD, task, P3)

Description

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

It is sometimes useful to trigger reports when memory reaches a certain
threshold, rather than trying to ensure that you catch a high memory condition
through about:memory.

Attachment: DMD auto-triggered threshold reports

This patch needs some cleanup (checking for TMP or TMPDIR environment variable,
so it works on Windows; we don't have XPCOM niceties, such as they are,
available in DMD), but this is the basic idea.

Ideally one could set the threshold via a DMD option as well.

I'm probably not going to work on this in the immediate future.

This is kind of a "useful idea with a prototype patch, but not exactly cleaned up enough for landing" so I think that's fine.
