History

Raul Silvera fcd2a06ab6 cmd/pprof/internal: use and accept packed encoding for repeated fields Packed encoding is the default on the proto3 format. Profiles generated in the profile.proto format by third parties cannot be decoded by the Go pprof tool, since its proto decoder does not recognize packed encoding for repeated fields. In particular this issue prevents go tool pprof from reading profiles generated by the version of pprof in github.com/google/pprof Profiles generated by go tool pprof after this change will use packed repeating fields, so older versions of pprof will not be able to read them. pprof will continue to be able to read profiles generated before this change.

README

The pprof in this directory is adapted from the pprof used inside Google
for C++, Java, and Go programs. Because it was developed for that broader
context, it is overgeneralized when used here for the specific use case
of profiling standard Go programs. However, we've left the abstractions
intact in order to share updates between this copy and Google's internal one.

Please do not take the level of abstraction in this program as an example
to follow in your own.
