Similar to what we're doing on the flame graph now
Also, tweak tooltip message for collectors that overlap frame boundary if it's partially on a dropped frame, so that it isn't misleading
Adding vertical scroll, allowing resizing of the window, and putting the frame number to the right of the frame divider line instead of centering it
Also, never makes the Timeline window taller than the screen
It creates a clock skew in the PStats timing information that cannot be corrected for in the server. If we want to bring this back, we should either have a global `pause()` and `resume()` (so we can properly pause collection in the meantime, and have a time to reset to, but we'd need to think about how to handle threading) or we should add a `drop_frame()` to drop the current frame. If we must bring it back in its current form, then we need to communicate the clock reset to the server, so that it can properly take it into account.
- Properly display and stack bars overlapping frame boundaries
- Ignore "App:Show code:General" collector (already disabled on master, but to support 1.10 clients) - it's an "inverted" collector that doesn't nest properly so it messes up the stacking
- Better handling / display of dropped frames
- Better handling of clock skew due to `PStatClient::resume_after_pause()` (but please don't use it, because it's not possible to fully handle it properly)
- Vertical scrolling (Windows only)
This lets the window manager know when a program has finished launching, to stop showing a spinning cursor
Can be disabled with `x-send-startup-notification false`
Upon reading data from datagram, the bars would animate from zero width, which looks odd when opening an existing session.
Also, fix the scale area not updating properly in GTK version.
This provides a better UX; if the client disconnects after the graphs open, it's quite obvious that there's still a PStats session open, but otherwise it's not obvious (and a little annoying) if you have to realize that PStats is no longer listening and you have to start a new session.
Enabled with `pstats-python-profiler 1`, requires recent version of PStats server.
Currently, it is limited to the main thread only. Support for other threads may be added at a later date.
Currently, the client doesn't send nested start/stop pairs, but there is no good reason not to handle this case in the server, and in some cases it is useful to send them (I will soon make changes on master to take advantage of this).
Client version 3.1 indicates that the client may send nested start/stop pairs.
It can be very useful to know how often a collector was invoked in a frame, not just how long it took. This adds a number to the upper-right corner showing exactly that (but not aggregated, just for leaf collectors).
Remove the use of set and list, which are allocator-heavy and insertion was a bottleneck. Since each sample occurs only once on the linked list, we can more efficiently roll our own linked list with next and prev pointers, so no allocation needed. Instead of the set, we can just store a per-collector flag.
Previously, forward stages would be uninitialized, resulting in cryptic errors with ahead-of-time preparation (although arguably ahead-of-time preparation is a bug in and of itself)
