Details

It would be really nice to make the thread sampling and C++ stack walking code in tools/profiler available to the SpiderMonkey shell. There's really nothing about this code that is dependent on Gecko. And SpiderMonkey would like to use markers, capture C++ stacks, and so on.

Perhaps mozglue/profiler would be a good home?

I'm currently working on moving most of the profiler to mozglue, but I've only just noticed this bug!

Jim, are you still working on this? Happy for me to take over this bug?
If you already have some code somewhere, I'd be happy to have a look at it, to compare notes. 😉

No, please take it! I never got started.

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.
