- Add a tool "tracy-edit" that allows loading a tracy capture, patching symbols and recompress the result
- Add offline symbol resolvers for linux (using addr2line) and windows (using dbghelper)
When using TRACY_MANUAL_LIFETIME, calling most Tracy functions
before starting the profiler results in an assertion. Notably, even
TracyIsConnected is affected. There is, however, no function to check if
the profiler had already started. This commit adds such a function.
We (Julia) ship both support for using tracy to trace julia applications,
as well as using `rr` (https://github.com/rr-debugger/rr) for record-replay debugging.
After our most recent rebuild of tracy, users have been reporting signfificant performance
slowdowns when `rr` recording a session that happens to also load the tracy library
(even if tracing is not enabled). Upon further examination, the recompile happened
to trigger a protective heuristic that disabled rr's patching of tracy's use of
`rdtsc` because an earlier part of the same function happened to look like a
conditional branch into the patch region. See https://github.com/rr-debugger/rr/pull/3580
for details. To avoid this issue occurring again in future rebuilds of tracy,
adjust tracy's `rdtsc` sequence to be `nopl; rdtsc`, which (as of of the
linked PR) is a sequence that is guaranteed to bypass this heuristic
and not incur the additional overhead when run under rr.
This functionality is kept behind a compile-time flag `TRACY_PATCHABLE_NOPSLEDS`
in order to avoid polluting the instruction cache unnecessarily.
The windows.h header file defines the macro max. If the max macro is include
it will lead to name collisions with the std::numeric_limits<T>::max() function.
One solution is to define NOMINMAX before the inclusion of windows.h.
However, that might be a demanding task for a large codebase. Defining the
NOMINMAX as global define may also break previous code.
Another to solution to the problem is to wrap the numeric_limits function in
parenthesis to instruct the compiler to treat it as a function and not a macro.
This commit wraps the std::numeric_limits<T>::max() calls in the public
interfacing header files, with parenthesis.
This compile-time flag was being ignored on Linux. This change adds
gating for software-sampled stack trace sampling following the same
pattern as other `TRACY_NO_SAMPLE_*` options.
If `TRACY_NO_SAMPLING=1` is provided as an environment variable,
software stack sampling is also disabled.
There might have been new modules loaded by another thread between the `SymInitialize` and `EnumProcessModules` calls.
Since we register the enumerated modules into the cache, we need to make sure that symbols for this module are loaded.
The only way to do that is to call `SymLoadModuleEx`, just like we do when finding new modules after `InitCallstack`.

Red and blue channels were mislabeled. Otherwise, coding and decoding was
performed correctly, as far as the color channel order described in the manual
is followed by the user.
No change to the binary protocol was made.
This fixes usage with TRACY_HAS_CALLSTACK undefined, allowing compilation of
otherwise unused functions, which are already protected from being called
through macro redirections.
See https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/pull/492 for more information.
Provide a custom no-op implementation of dlclose(), in order to prevent shared
object data from disappearing from profiler view. The server makes queries for
program executable code, which has to be always available, otherwise wrong
data may be provided, or the program may crash, due to referencing no longer
mapped memory.
The dlclose() documentation states that the function internally decreases the
reference count, and only does unload the shared object when the count reaches
zero. There is no guarantee that the shared object data will be unloaded
immediately after any dlclose call originating from the program. This function
override exploits this fact.
