556942 - incorporate memory profiler

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

We should incorporate the memory profiler from the Jetpack Prototype into the SDK so that developers can find out how much memory their extensions are using and whether their extensions are leaking any memory.

Atul has said he's going to take this on for the 0.3 release, so setting the assignee and target milestone fields appropriately.

Pushed:

  Added nsjetpack binary component, which fixes bug 556942. While this currently contains more than just the memory profiling functionality, removing the extra flexible membrane and miscellaneous functionality would require recompiling this binary component for two versions of Firefox on 3 different platforms, which is a huge pain.

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".
