/*
 * The performance tracing functions allow for the performance of code using
 * GLib to be measured by passing metrics from the current process to an
 * external measurement process such as `sysprof-cli` or `sysprofd`.
 *
 * They are designed to execute quickly, especially in the common case where no
 * measurement process is connected. They are guaranteed to not block the caller
 * and are guaranteed to have zero runtime cost if tracing support is disabled
 * at configure time.
 *
 * Tracing information can be provided as ‘marks’ with a start time and
 * duration; or as marks with a start time and no duration. Marks with a
 * duration are intended to show the execution time of a piece of code. Marks
 * with no duration are intended to show an instantaneous performance problem,
 * such as an unexpectedly large allocation, or that a slow path has been taken
 * in some code.
 *
