Runtime events tools

A collection of observability tools around the runtime events tracing system introduced in OCaml 5.0.

olly

olly latency will report the GC tail latency profile of an OCaml executable.

olly trace will record the runtime trace log in Chrome tracing format.

$ olly trace menhir_sysver.trace 'menhir -v --table sysver.mly'
<snip>
$ ls menhir_sysver.trace
menhir_sysver.trace

This trace can be viewed in perfetto trace viewer.

Dependencies

The library depends on hdr_histogram_ocaml.
