Policy files contains a classification policy for dmprof.py. Each line indicates a group to be classified and conditions for classifying in the following format. Format: is a name for the group to be classified. Same names can appear in the same policy file multiple times. represents a type of the memory region. It's one of {malloc, mmap, default, optional}. is a Python-style regular expression to match with calling stack frames. For each memory chunks allocated by malloc, its calling stack frame of malloc is compared with these classification policies whose is 'malloc' from the top. If of the policy matches the frame, the memory chunk is classified into . The same way for 'mmap'. Policy lines whose s are 'optional' and 'default' are used by dmprof.py internally. 'optional' policies can be disabled by removing or commenting-out. Guidelines to write a new policy. Better policies would classify memory on a single layer, or simple combination of layers. For example, - Large-level components (V8, WebKit, ...) - Mid-level components (Font, FileAPI, ...) - Low-level libraries (StringImpl, HashTable, ...) - Mid-level libraries (SharedBuf, XHR, ...) For example of combinations, - How about SharedBuf in Font API v.s. other APIs? - How about Strings in IndexedDB v.s. File APIs?
