Detailed Description

Records wall-clock timings for (possibly nested) named Profiler::Spans and reports them in various formats.

Spans nest like a stack, so each one remembers its parent. From these Spans the Profiler can derive

• a flat Profiler::summary aggregated by name,
• a hierarchical Profiler::tree that shows the runtimes in context, and
• a Chrome Trace Event JSON dump (Profiler::chrome_trace) that can be loaded into chrome://tracing, Perfetto, or speedscope.
