We still generally only build on Linux from the Sysprof
project, but we can start to support other systems in the
capture format (with the possibility of being more general
for the UI later on too).
The point of this file was to be easily usable by applications that want
to generate capture files (or proxy them). The intention here is that we
only have SpCaptureReader/SpCaptureWriter (and associated bits necessary
to support that).
This makes sure that we do not use GObject from the libsysprof-capture-2.a
while still having GType's in the libsysprof-2.so dynamic library.
We also invert the GObject macro check so that the default is to not
register a GType which increases the chances that copy/paste code does
not run into double-registering a GType if used with an application that
links against libsysprof-2. (One such example could be if Gtk uses this
code for timers, as it would break Sysprof itself).
The goal here is to have an API that allows us to record things like
frame timing data. We might iterate on this API a bit, but this gets us
started.
A SpCaptureMark with a zero duration should be treated like an epoch mark
once a visualizer is created. SpCaptureMark with a non-zero duration should
be treated like a begin/end of operation. This may be useful in generating
something like a flame graph.
The lib/ directory was getting a bit out of hand, so this tries
to organize things a bit so it is easier going forward to locate
the code people want to patch.
