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: <group-name> <region-type> <pattern> <group-name> is a name for the group to be classified. Same names can appear in the same policy file multiple times. <region-type> represents a type of the memory region. It's one of {malloc, mmap, default, optional}. <pattern> 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 <region-type> is 'malloc' from the top. If <pattern> of the policy matches the frame, the memory chunk is classified into <group-name>. The same way for 'mmap'. Policy lines whose <region-type>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?
