// A class that accumulates profile samples and writes them to a file.
//
// Each sample contains a stack trace and a count.  Memory usage is
// reduced by combining profile samples that have the same stack trace
// by adding up the associated counts.
//
// Profile data is accumulated in a bounded amount of memory, and will
// flushed to a file as necessary to stay within the memory limit.
//
// Use of this class assumes external synchronization.  The exact
// requirements of that synchronization are that:
//
//  - 'Add' may be called from asynchronous signals, but is not
//    re-entrant.
//
//  - None of 'Start', 'Stop', 'Reset', 'Flush', and 'Add' may be
//    called at the same time.
//
//  - 'Start', 'Stop', or 'Reset' should not be called while 'Enabled'
//     or 'GetCurrent' are running, and vice versa.
//
// A profiler which uses asyncronous signals to add samples will
// typically use two locks to protect this data structure:
//
//  - A SpinLock which is held over all calls except for the 'Add'
//    call made from the signal handler.
//
//  - A SpinLock which is held over calls to 'Start', 'Stop', 'Reset',
//    'Flush', and 'Add'.  (This SpinLock should be acquired after
//    the first SpinLock in all cases where both are needed.)
