Description Milian Wolff CLA 2017-06-26 09:16:18 EDT
The UST flamegraph currently depends on the `-finstrument-functions` feature, which is far from optimal. A general support for visualizing "$prefix_{enter,exit}" UST events would be much more useful, allowing one to add the UST points at strategic places and still getting pseudo-flamegraphs as the result. Full instrumentation is usually far too costly in a real world application.
