// When heap profiling is enabled, tracing keeps track of the allocation
// context for each allocation intercepted. It is generated by the
// |AllocationContextTracker| which keeps stacks of context in TLS.
// The tracker is initialized lazily.

// The backtrace in the allocation context is a snapshot of the stack. For now,
// this is the pseudo stack where frames are created by trace event macros. In
// the future, we might add the option to use the native call stack. In that
// case, |Backtrace| and |AllocationContextTracker::GetContextSnapshot| might
// have different implementations that can be selected by a compile time flag.

// The number of stack frames stored in the backtrace is a trade off between
// memory used for tracing and accuracy. Measurements done on a prototype
// revealed that:
//
// - In 60 percent of the cases, pseudo stack depth <= 7.
// - In 87 percent of the cases, pseudo stack depth <= 9.
// - In 95 percent of the cases, pseudo stack depth <= 11.
//
// See the design doc (https://goo.gl/4s7v7b) for more details.

// mostly to properly format the value. Value is expected to be a valid
