We serialize the heap // as a series of protobuf messages with each message prefixed by its Varint32 // byte size so we can delimit individual protobuf messages (protobuf parsers // cannot determine where a message ends on their own). // // The first protobuf message is an instance of the `Metadata` message. All // subsequent messages will be instances of the `Node` message. The first of // these `Node` messages is the root node of the serialized heap graph. Here is // a diagram of our core dump format: // // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | Varint32: The size of following `Metadata` message. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | message: The core dump `Metadata` message. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | message: The first `Node` message. This is the root node. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | message: A `Node` message. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | message: A `Node` message. | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | . | // | . | // | . | // +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // // Core dumps should always be written with a // `google::protobuf::io::GzipOutputStream` and read from a // `google::protobuf::io::GzipInputStream`. // // Note that all strings are de-duplicated. The first time the N^th unique // string is encountered, the full string is serialized. Subsequent times that // same string is encountered, it is referenced by N. This de-duplication // happens across string properties, not on a per-property basis. For example, // if the same K^th unique string is first used as an Edge::EdgeNameOrRef and // then as a StackFrame::Data::FunctionDisplayNameOrRef, the first will be the // actual string as the functionDisplayName oneof property, and the second will // be a reference to the first as the edgeNameRef oneof property whose value is // K. // // We would ordinarily abstract these de-duplicated strings with messages of // their own, but unfortunately, the protobuf compiler does not have a way to // inline a messsage within another message and the child message must be // referenced by pointer.
