[Roman Lebedev via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

lebedev.ri added inline comments.

+    json::Array Events;
 
     // Emit all events for the main flame graph.

Effect is noticeable, but actual implementation need a smart heuristics to determine the entries number to reserve. For the default option (time-trace-granularity = 500 msec) this doesn't matter.

The lack of `json::array::reserve()`

Hm?
You know how many Events in `json::Array` you will end up with - `Entries.size() + CountAndTotalPerName.size() + 1`.
You can even assert that in the end.
