The range message stack is mirrored in case ranges are pushed or popped
while tracing is stopped (by the tracer tool?). When a stop event is
reported, the tracer tool emits RangePop events by unwinding the stack,
then when the start event is reported, it emits RangePush events again
by unwinding the stack. The issue is that the RangePush events should
be emitted in reverse order.
For example:
RangePush(M1); RangePush(M2); \
TracerStop; RangePop; RangePop; \
...; \
TracerStart; RangePush(M2); RangePush(M1); \ <- In the wrong order
RangePop; RangePop;
It could be fixed by reversing the stack in RangeStackIterate but is it
worth it? The roctx range markers are supposed to be unintrusive so that
they can be left in the application even when it isn't being traced.
Simplifying the roctx API and reducing its added latency by removing
the range message stack mirroring seems like the better choise.
TODO: A future change should make roctx events immune to tracer start
and tracer stop requests. Or simply remove roctracer_start/stop.
