…15615) Internal refactor: allows to generate a decoded backtrace for any given instruction pointer, without requiring an `Array` or an `Exception::CallStack` object. My use case is crystal-lang/perf-tools#27 where I use slices and where I could merely call this helper method.

I noticed a few things:
Fiber
instead of storing each into a different globalHash
;Fiber.each
(thread safe linked list);Fiber.inactive
anymore;track_fiber
to be a macro anymore (renamedcaller_stack
);The above allows us to not need an explicit lock anymore: we're always setting the stack for the current fiber, and we can have a few checks to make sure we can use said stack from another thread.
Which leads me to the last point: we can generate a backtrace from a
Slice(Void*)
directly (with a few changes) and we can store stacks asSlice(Void*)
directly instead ofArray(Void*)
.The stacks slice is a struct and if its size won't change, then only the pointer will, so we wouldn't need thread synchronization... except for one caveat: the size can change from 0 to N (see comments) so we check for null pointer and size == 0 (to be resilient to any parallel write reorder), before deciding to use the stack.I'm having some second thoughts about that. Maybe an Array would be safer: we'd merely update a pointer in place 🤔I still save the stack as
Array(Void*)
then expose views into the array asSlice(Void*)
. The underlying buffer size is either 0 or DEPTH + SKIP.
