* SECTION:trace
* @Title: Performance tracing
* @Short_description: Functions for measuring and tracing performance
*
* The performance tracing functions allow for the performance of code using
* GLib to be measured by passing metrics from the current process to an
* external measurement process such as `sysprof-cli` or `sysprofd`.
*
* They are designed to execute quickly, especially in the common case where no
* measurement process is connected. They are guaranteed to not block the caller
* and are guaranteed to have zero runtime cost if tracing support is disabled
* at configure time.
*
* Tracing information can be provided as ‘marks’ with a start time and
* duration; or as marks with a start time and no duration. Marks with a
* duration are intended to show the execution time of a piece of code. Marks
* with no duration are intended to show an instantaneous performance problem,
* such as an unexpectedly large allocation, or that a slow path has been taken
* in some code.
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* gint64 begin_time_nsec G_GNUC_UNUSED;
*
* begin_time_nsec = G_TRACE_CURRENT_TIME;
*
* // some code which might take a while
*
* g_trace_mark (begin_time_nsec, G_TRACE_CURRENT_TIME - begin_time_nsec,
* "GLib", "GSource.dispatch",
* "%s ⇒ %s", g_source_get_name (source), need_destroy ? "destroy" : "keep");
* ]|
*
* The tracing API is currently internal to GLib.
