Broken on Nightly

[CommCody]

Hi, here I am again.
Just to say it's broken on nightly (only noticed now, but probably already longer).

(Build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0a1 ID:20120621053048)

ps: I will at this here, but if there is help I can do (help) let me know and I will see wath I can do (but mind that I'm only starting on add-on/javascript developmentm I come from a C#/java background)

Yes, I just noticed it yesterday. It's not entirely surprising. I'm aware that the following changes have been made in regards to the memory reporters:

• I believe the string arrangement of compartments has changed. It's quite possible this has broken my parsing code.
• It's possible that some of the reporter hierarchies were also re-arranged, which would also break things quickly, but be a fairly easy fix, I think/hope.
• One-compartment-per-global has landeded, so there's a looot of compartments now. I would expect this to slow things down (because there's so much more to process), and make the origin aggregation logic distribute the blame when it should no longer do so. Previously, there would only be one JS compartment per origin, so we would need to apportion the blame for that compartment over all the webpages in that origin. (Where origin is the DNS host and port of the website.)

The first two should be fairly easy to address; the latter one is more involved.

A related issue is that the code for about:memory, which lib/memfrob.js is derived from, has been changed since I copied it and modified it.

Unfortunately, I'm going to very busy for the next 2 weeks and definitely won't be able to do any work on this myself. However, I would be very happy to provide you with feedback/advice if you do want to go ahead and investigate/fix things. lib/memfrob.js is really the only file I think you'd need to hack on.

Ok I would like to investigate, unfortunatly with other things demanding my constant attention I'm not entirely sure I will get to it.

I will keep you posted of what I find

Understood. I'll post here if I have time to look into it so that we don't duplicate any effort.
