719530 - Cleopatra front-end improvements

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Gecko Profiler, defect)

Description

[Benoit Girard (:BenWa)]

Cleopatra is the front end used to visualize performance profiler collected by the built-in profiler:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Performance/Profiling_with_the_Built-in_Profiler

The front end needs:
the jstree replacement: (1) Selection state (2) Support arrow key movement.
Histogram improvements: (1) High selected samples in jstree, (2) Add time axis (3) Click on a sample to select in jstree
Right overview bar: (1) Jump between unresponsive range (2) Show information about selected sample
Profile: (1) Add a link to show the data dump (2) Add a button to file a bug by passing the data to the extension

Is there a place to suggest other improvements?  There are some Shark front-end features that would be really nice to have in our built-in profiler...

If there non trivial and need backend changes I would suggest filing a new bug and making it block bug 71322.

I worked on this bug over the weekend, only the following changes still need to be done:
Histogram improvements: (1) High selected samples in jstree, (2) Add time axis (3) Click on a sample to select in jstree
Right overview bar: (1) Jump between unresponsive range (2) Show information about selected sample

It now works very well on Mac under the profiling branch.

I have no idea about backend changes.  I'll file separate bugs.

Most of these have been implemented in the latest version of cleopatra.
