First of all, why do you want to do this? If there is some functionality 
missing from the QML profiler, let me know. Do you want to do this in your 
application or in QtCreator?

In your application, you could connect to your own debug server - a TCP server 
on the port you've specified either with the -qmljsdebugger arguments or by 
calling QQmlDebuggingEnabler::startTcpServer(). You can then implement the 
protocol that's used to send the data over the wire and interpret it yourself. 
Yes, this is complicated, but I'm trying to stay backwards compatible with the 
protocol. Have a look at QtCreator's QmlProfilerTraceClient or the 
QmlProfilerClient in the command line qml profiler tool from qtdeclarative to 
see how it's done. The other option would be using private headers (e.g. 
qv4profiling_p.h), but obviously this isn't recommended.

If you're going to extend QtCreator it's easier to interface with the data. You 
can just use QmlProfilerTraceClient in your own plugin. I don't promise any 
source or binary API compatibility, though.

Ulf
