// - Report which wasm module, and maybe instance, each frame came from

/// Collects basic profiling data for a single WebAssembly guest.
///
/// This profiler can't provide measurements that are as accurate or detailed
/// as a platform-specific profiler, such as `perf` on Linux. On the other
/// hand, this profiler works on every platform that Wasmtime supports. Also,
/// as an embedder you can use this profiler selectively on individual guest
/// instances rather than profiling the entire process.
///
/// To use this, you'll need to arrange to call [`GuestProfiler::sample`] at
/// regular intervals while the guest is on the stack. The most straightforward
/// way to do that is to call it from a callback registered with
/// [`Store::epoch_deadline_callback()`](crate::Store::epoch_deadline_callback).
///
/// # Accuracy
///
/// The data collection granularity is limited by the mechanism you use to
/// interrupt guest execution and collect a profiling sample.
///
/// If you use epoch interruption, then samples will only be collected at
/// function entry points and loop headers. This introduces some bias to the
/// results. In addition, samples will only be taken at times when WebAssembly
/// functions are running, not during host-calls.
///
/// It is technically possible to use fuel interruption instead. That
/// introduces worse bias since samples occur after a certain number of
/// WebAssembly instructions, which can take different amounts of time.
///
/// You may instead be able to use platform-specific methods, such as
/// `setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, ...)` on POSIX-compliant systems, to sample on
/// a more accurate interval. The only current requirement is that the guest
/// you wish to profile must be on the same stack where you call `sample`,
/// and executing within the same thread. However, the `GuestProfiler::sample`
/// method is not currently async-signal-safe, so doing this correctly is not
/// easy.
///
/// # Security
///
/// Profiles produced using this profiler do not include any configuration
/// details from the host, such as virtual memory addresses, or from any
/// WebAssembly modules that you haven't specifically allowed. So for
/// example, these profiles should be safe to share with untrusted users
/// who have provided untrusted code that you are running in a multi-tenancy
/// environment.
///
/// However, the profile does include byte offsets into the text section of
/// the compiled module, revealing some information about the size of the code
/// generated for each module. For user-provided modules, the user could get
/// the same information by compiling the module for themself using a similar
/// version of Wasmtime on the same target architecture, but for any module
/// where they don't already have the WebAssembly module binary available this
/// could theoretically lead to an undesirable information disclosure. So you
/// should only include user-provided modules in profiles.
