New issue 942 by [email protected]: Profiler: simplify platform-specific
code by using pthreads
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=942
On Linux, Mac, and Windows the profiler implementations are now very
similar. We have sleep and grab a sample loop in a thread. We used to have
a different implementation on Linux (based on itimers), but discarded it in
the end. Given this similarity, on POSIX platforms we should be able to
implement our sampling profiler using pthread_self and pthread_kill calls.
The only truly platform specific stuff will be extracting data from the
context.
