[ VM / Profiler ] Add --sample-buffer-duration flag to specify sample buffer size

This flag consumes a time in seconds and calculates the correct capacity
for the sample buffer so it can contain at least that many seconds worth
of samples based on the maximum number of samples that can be chained to
represent a stack and the sampling rate.

Providing a value to this flag will likely greatly increase memory
consumption, so a warning message is printed which contains the
information used to calculate the buffer capacity as well as the size of
the resulting buffer in bytes. Example output:

** WARNING ** Custom sample buffer size provided via --sample-buffer-duration
The sample buffer can hold at least 120s worth of samples with stacks depths of up to 128, collected at a sample rate of 20000Hz.
The resulting sample buffer size is 3532800000 bytes.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web

Dart has flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
