// Copyright (c) 2012 The Chromium Authors. All rights reserved.
// Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be
// found in the LICENSE file.

// Use trace_analyzer::Query and trace_analyzer::TraceAnalyzer to search for
// specific trace events that were generated by the trace_event.h API.
//
// Basic procedure:
// - Get trace events JSON string from base::debug::TraceLog.
// - Create TraceAnalyzer with JSON string.
// - Call TraceAnalyzer::AssociateBeginEndEvents (optional).
// - Call TraceAnalyzer::AssociateEvents (zero or more times).
// - Call TraceAnalyzer::FindEvents with queries to find specific events.
//
// A Query is a boolean expression tree that evaluates to true or false for a
// given trace event. Queries can be combined into a tree using boolean,
// arithmetic and comparison operators that refer to data of an individual trace
// event.
//
// The events are returned as trace_analyzer::TraceEvent objects.
// TraceEvent contains a single trace event's data, as well as a pointer to
// a related trace event. The related trace event is typically the matching end
// of a begin event or the matching begin of an end event.
//
// The following examples use this basic setup code to construct TraceAnalyzer
// with the json trace string retrieved from TraceLog and construct an event
// vector for retrieving events:
//
// TraceAnalyzer analyzer(json_events);
// TraceEventVector events;
//
// EXAMPLE 1: Find events named "my_event".
//
// analyzer.FindEvents(Query(EVENT_NAME) == "my_event", &events);
//
// EXAMPLE 2: Find begin events named "my_event" with duration > 1 second.
//
// Query q = (Query(EVENT_NAME) == Query::String("my_event") &&
//            Query(EVENT_PHASE) == Query::Phase(TRACE_EVENT_PHASE_BEGIN) &&
//            Query(EVENT_DURATION) > Query::Double(1000000.0));
// analyzer.FindEvents(q, &events);
//
// EXAMPLE 3: Associating event pairs across threads.
//
// If the test needs to analyze something that starts and ends on different
// threads, the test needs to use INSTANT events. The typical procedure is to
// specify the same unique ID as a TRACE_EVENT argument on both the start and
// finish INSTANT events. Then use the following procedure to associate those
// events.
//
// Step 1: instrument code with custom begin/end trace events.
//   [Thread 1 tracing code]
//   TRACE_EVENT_INSTANT1("test_latency", "timing1_begin", "id", 3);
//   [Thread 2 tracing code]
//   TRACE_EVENT_INSTANT1("test_latency", "timing1_end", "id", 3);
//
// Step 2: associate these custom begin/end pairs.
//   Query begin(Query(EVENT_NAME) == Query::String("timing1_begin"));
//   Query end(Query(EVENT_NAME) == Query::String("timing1_end"));
//   Query match(Query(EVENT_ARG, "id") == Query(OTHER_ARG, "id"));
//   analyzer.AssociateEvents(begin, end, match);
//
// Step 3: search for "timing1_begin" events with existing other event.
//   Query q = (Query(EVENT_NAME) == Query::String("timing1_begin") &&
//              Query(EVENT_HAS_OTHER));
//   analyzer.FindEvents(q, &events);
//
// Step 4: analyze events, such as checking durations.
//   for (size_t i = 0; i < events.size(); ++i) {
//     double duration;
//     EXPECT_TRUE(events[i].GetAbsTimeToOtherEvent(&duration));
//     EXPECT_LT(duration, 1000000.0/60.0); // expect less than 1/60 second.
//   }
