// # Core Dumps
//
// A core dump is a serialized snapshot of the heap graph. We serialize the heap
// as a series of protobuf messages with each message prefixed by its Varint32
// byte size so we can delimit individual protobuf messages (protobuf parsers
// cannot determine where a message ends on their own).
//
// The first protobuf message is an instance of the `Metadata` message. All
// subsequent messages will be instances of the `Node` message. The first of
// these `Node` messages is the root node of the serialized heap graph. Here is
// a diagram of our core dump format:
//
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | Varint32: The size of following `Metadata` message. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | message: The core dump `Metadata` message. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | message: The first `Node` message. This is the root node. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | message: A `Node` message. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | message: A `Node` message. |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | . |
// | . |
// | . |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//
// Core dumps should always be written with a
// `google::protobuf::io::GzipOutputStream` and read from a
// `google::protobuf::io::GzipInputStream`.
//
// Note that all strings are de-duplicated. The first time the N^th unique
// string is encountered, the full string is serialized. Subsequent times that
// same string is encountered, it is referenced by N. This de-duplication
// happens across string properties, not on a per-property basis. For example,
// if the same K^th unique string is first used as an Edge::EdgeNameOrRef and
// then as a StackFrame::Data::FunctionDisplayNameOrRef, the first will be the
// actual string as the functionDisplayName oneof property, and the second will
// be a reference to the first as the edgeNameRef oneof property whose value is
// K.
//
// We would ordinarily abstract these de-duplicated strings with messages of
// their own, but unfortunately, the protobuf compiler does not have a way to
// inline a messsage within another message and the child message must be
// referenced by pointer. This leads to extra mallocs that we wish to avoid.
