Bug 1273855 fixed the bug that we would overwrite the same directory. But there is still an issue left in e10s OPT builds. On debug builds we close the content child decently, but on OPT builds we just forceful close it. I didn't notice this, because I was testing on DEBUG builds. But as a result not all data gets written to the required files.

@billm: given bug 1254829 comment 20, I'm directing this question to you. Though feel free to forward to somebody better.

Tracelogger is an 'internal' tool to trace which functions get called, which JS engine is used, how many times does a script get compiled, how long did the compilation take, which passes took the longest, how long took parsing, are we mostly in JS or do we go to VM calls, ...
See: https://github.com/h4writer/tracelogger

Now this is mostly used to look into JS shell performance, but it also works in the browser. It takes up a fixed amount of memory and put everything in that memory and when that is full it writes it to the disk. That means that on shutdown we need to make sure everything gets flushed. (Since that only happens when memory is full or on shutdown). Now we can use TraceLogger for the Chrome, but not for the Content process anymore, since we don't call deconstructors anymore in e10s on the Content process.

How we can fix this?

1) Is there still some code that get called before forcing the content child to die? To make sure I can flush that information?
2) Can I adjust the code to still run the destruction code (in opt builds), when TraceLogging is enabled? (Which doesn't happen for regular code).
...

This is the code that runs when the child process shuts down:
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/064025c802c22cd5ad122746733cbd34ea47393c/dom/ipc/ContentChild.cpp#3001

You can either listen for the "content-child-shutdown" notification (maybe in XPConnect?) or modify this code directly. The observer notification is probably a better place to do it.

Thanks for the quick info.

This patch makes it possible to use TraceLogger in e10s again. By destroying the TraceLogger we flush the data it is still keeping. This way looked simplest/easiest/cleanest to me.

I haven't looked at what's going on here, but once you do figure it out, I'll probably want to generalize this to JS::NotifyImpendingShutdown or something so that I can use it to flush out the minor GC logging too, and perhaps some other logging that is supposed to print shutdown totals. (I just happened to stumble across the minor GC logging issue, and recognized that it's the same sort of issue.)
I think bug 1300515 is the culprit for the backout. Running a try build now.
