18 // AllocationContextTracker is a thread-local object. Its main purpose is to
19 // keep track of a pseudo stack of trace events. Chrome has been instrumented
20 // with lots of `TRACE_EVENT` macros. These trace events push their name to a
21 // thread-local stack when they go into scope, and pop when they go out of
22 // scope, if all of the following conditions have been met:
23 //
24 //  * A trace is being recorded.
25 //  * The category of the event is enabled in the trace config.
26 //  * Heap profiling is enabled (with the `--enable-heap-profiling` flag).
27 //
28 // This means that allocations that occur before tracing is started will not
29 // have backtrace information in their context.
30 //
31 // AllocationContextTracker also keeps track of some thread state not related to
32 // trace events. See |AllocationContext|.
33 //

35 // is first accessed. This might be because a trace event pushed or popped, or
