31 // // Create and customize params as desired.

38 // // custom completed callback:

40 // thread_safe_callback = ...;

49 // a 10Hz interval for a total of 30 seconds. All of these parameters may be
50 // altered as desired.

54 // completed profiles. A profile is considered complete if all requested samples
55 // were recorded for the profile (i.e. it was not stopped prematurely).

58 // of a vector of CallStackProfiles. Each CallStackProfile corresponds to a
59 // burst as specified in SamplingParams and contains a set of Samples and
60 // Modules. One Sample corresponds to a single recorded stack, and the Modules
61 // record those modules associated with the recorded stack frames.
