This includes a few separate enhancements: 1. `growable` is added to allow for fixed-size buffers 2. `ios_t` struct layout is optimized for better packing 3. inline buffer is increased to 83 bytes from 54 This change grows the size of ios_t by 16 bytes (160 -> 172 bytes), but the internal buffer was increased by 29 bytes thanks to re-arranging the fields in the struct to be packed more efficiently.

This adds a variety of metadata to send to Tracy during profiling, in particular method instance signatures, the Heap size, and a couple of other small pieces of relevant metadata. It also adds full support for Task execution, tracking these as "Fibers" on the Tracy side. This does incur some overhead until an enhancement is implemented on the Tracy-side to avoid a globally synchronous Fiber event queue, but most of the events that we're tracking now are relatively coarse so it should not be a major issue.
This environmental variable instructs the Julia runtime to wait until it receives a connection from the Tracy profiler before starting. This allows us to get a complete trace, without having to accumulate a large queue of events to send over the wire later.
This functionality is currently only exposed on the master branch of Tracy, but it's quite useful so let's carry the patch to expose it until the next Tracy release.
This is useful for Tracy, which can receive method signature strings over the write. For performance reasons, we want to keep those strings as small as possible, typically less than 80 characters long. This change adds basic "configuration" support for `jl_static_show`, including only a "quiet" parameter for now which can be used to avoid printing DataType parameters.
This replaces the `ENABLE_TIMINGS` #define in `options.h` Since we now support multiple back-ends for timing events, each back-end is expected to be enabled with a `WITH_*` Makefile flag, and then the JL_TIMING API is automatically enabled if any back-end is available. Turning on multiple back-ends at the same time is also supported.
Cap the number of method instances we report to the profiler for a single LLVM_MODULE_FINISH to 10.

This enables broadcast messages so that Tracy processes can be listed by the profiler, which is a nice quality-of-life feature.
This commit adds the following environment variables:
- `JULIA_TIMING_SUBSYSTEMS` which can be set to, e.g.,
"+INFERENCE,-GC,METHOD_MATCH" to enable INFERENCE
and METHOD_MATCH and disable GC.
- `JULIA_TIMING_METADATA_PRINT_LIMIT` which defaults
to 10 and determines how many metadata items to add to
a single timing zone before truncating
This commit also includes other miscellaneous changes to incorporate
review feedback.

Great idea - I've added that to my list for the follow-up PR (which is targeting locks, etc.) One other detail that I noticed today is that Any ideas about how we should handle that? |

I would just delete that environment variable by adding a mapping to |
We'll eventually want to provide some kind of useful interface to turn this on for a particular pre-compilation, but for now we should just prevent causing pre-compilation to hang forever.

Great stuff! However, I noticed that this PR doesn't add any documentation for the new features. I think that would be a very valuable addition. |
