# This script uses atos to process the output of nsTraceRefcnt's Mac OS

# X stack walking code. This is useful for two things:

# This script uses addr2line (part of binutils) to process the output of
|
||||
# nsTraceRefcnt's Linux stack walking code. This is useful for two
|
||||
# things:
|
||||
# (1) Getting line number information out of
|
||||
# |nsTraceRefcntImpl::WalkTheStack|'s output in debug builds.
|
||||
# (2) Getting function names out of |nsTraceRefcntImpl::WalkTheStack|'s
|
||||
# output on all builds (where it mostly prints UNKNOWN because only
|
||||
# a handful of symbols are exported from component libraries).
|

# |nsTraceRefcnt::WalkTheStack|'s output in debug builds.

# (2) Getting function names out of |nsTraceRefcnt::WalkTheStack|'s
|

# output on optimized builds (where it mostly prints UNKNOWN
|
||||
# because only a handful of symbols are exported from component
|

# Use the script by piping output containing stacks (such as raw stacks
|
||||
# or make-tree.pl balance trees) through this script.
