tp: delete the legacy PerfettoSqlPreprocessor With trace_processor routing through the syntaqlite-driven macro path (see the previous CL), the handwritten preprocessor and the LegacyImpl/constexpr/optional<> machinery that gated its existence have no remaining production callers. * Delete `src/trace_processor/perfetto_sql/preprocessor/` entirely (~2.6k lines of generated grammar + handwritten preprocessor + tests) and drop its BUILD.gn references from the parser, engine, and root trace_processor targets. * Inline the real `Macro` struct on `PerfettoSqlParser` (was a `using` alias to the preprocessor type) and drop the parser/engine includes of the preprocessor header. * Collapse `PerfettoSqlParser::Impl` from the dual-impl wrapper into the syntaqlite implementation directly: no more `LegacyImpl`, `kUseSyntaqliteMacros`, `std::optional<>` slots, or `if constexpr` dispatch. * Drop the `kBang` token alias added to SqliteTokenizer when the legacy preprocessor needed to recognise `!` as a macro indicator. * Drop the `kUsesSyntaqliteMacros` test gate and the ExpandsTokenApplyIntrinsic skip-on-legacy guard. * Refresh the engine.cc architecture comment to drop the preprocessor layer from the diagram. Android.bp/BUILD regen happens at upload time via tools/gen_all per project convention.
Perfetto is an open-source suite of SDKs, daemons and tools which use tracing to help developers understand the behaviour of complex systems and root-cause functional and performance issues on client and embedded systems.
It is a production-grade tool that is the default tracing system for the Android operating system and the Chromium browser.
Perfetto is not a single tool, but a collection of components that work together:
Perfetto was designed to be a versatile and powerful tracing system for a wide range of use cases.
ftrace, allowing you to visualize scheduling, syscalls, interrupts, and custom kernel tracepoints on a timeline.chrome://tracing. Use it to debug and root-cause issues in the browser, V8, and Blink.We‘ve designed our documentation to guide you to the right information as quickly as possible, whether you’re a newcomer to performance analysis or an experienced developer.
