* Allow -http to accept host:port
* Add serveWebInterface tests.
* Make sure serveWebInterface is serving on the URL.
* Avoid nil pointer dereference
* Simplify the -http flag test.
* Use the right capitalization for hostport.
* Fix the double escaping in regexps.
* Address review comments.
* Added an interactive web interface triggered by passing -http=port
on the command line. The interface is available by visiting
localhost:port in a browser.
Requirements:
* Graphviz must be installed.
* Browser must support Javascript.
* Tested in recent stable versions of chrome and firefox.
Features:
* The entry point is a dot graph display (equivalent to "web" output).
* Nodes in the graph can be selected by clicking.
* A regular expression can also be typed in for selection.
* The current selection (either list of nodes or a regexp)
can be focused, ignored, or hidden.
* Source code or disassembly of the current selection can be displayed.
* Remove unused function.
* Skip graph generation test if graphviz is not installed.
* Added -http port and the various modes of using pprof to the
usage message.
* Web interface now supports "show" option.
* Web interface automatically opens the browser pointed at
the page corresponding to command line arguments.
* Some tweaks for firefox.
* Handle review comments (better usage message, more testing).
* Handled review comments:
1. Capture and display errors like "Focus expression matched no samples".
2. Re-ordered buttons to match other interfaces.
3. Use UI.PrintErr to print error messages.
* Handle javascript code review comments (a bunch of cleanups).
Also added pprof binary to .gitignore.
*: golint, go tool vet, unsued, gosimple, staticcheck (#113)
* `git ls-files -- '*.go' | xargs gofmt -s -w`
* driver: unexport InternalOptions
This was an exported method that returned an internal type, so it's
unlikely that anyone depends on its presence.

golint reported: error strings should not be capitalized or end with
punctuation or a newline
* internal/driver: s/buildId/buildID/ per golint
* internal/elfexec: remove punctuation in error string
golint reported: error strings should not be capitalized or end with
punctuation or a newline
* internal/graph: correct comment
Found with golint.
* internal/graph: add method comment
golint reported: exported method Edge.WeightValue should have comment
or be unexported
* internal/report: remove newline in error string
golint reported: error strings should not be capitalized or end with
punctuation or a newline

Remove filenames when showing function (default) granularity
Previously we were showing filenames together with function names
when generating reports at function granularity. This was an attempt
to provide more information to the user, but it clutters the output.
Also, in cases where a function is associated to multiple files
(eg template instantiations in C++), keeping the filename may prevent
us from combining nodes from the same function.
Will stop keeping filenames at the default function granularity, and will
remove the "functionnameonly" option which was previously providing this
functionality.
For certain formats (eog, evince, gv, web, weblist), the visualizer
would be invoked regardless of whether the user specified a specific
output file to write to. In order to ensure that output is properly
written, the invokeVisualizer function has a check for whether the
output is os.Stdout and alters behavior based on that. This is the
wrong abstraction layer to do that work.
At the core of the problem is that PostProcess is used to both
do data post-processing that is inherent to the format, and also
to invoke some visualization for the data (to Stdout or browser).
We split these two steps apart and make it obvious which is which
by adding a visualizer field to Command.
This seperation of concerns allows us to simplify the code.
A previous commit tried to eliminate a panic when reading an empty
profile by stopping support for profiles with no samples. That is
unnecessary and it can obstruct some testing.
The panic was caused by the legacy parser returning a nil profile and
no error when processing an empty profile. Detect that situation and
generate a proper profile instead.
Tested by running 'pprof /dev/null'
Add testcase for profile parsing errors
When -mean is selected, currently pprof divides the sample value
by value[0], which is expected to be the number of samples. This
is intended to produce mean value per sample. These means cannot
be added. Instead, we should add the value and the number of samples
independently and perform the division at the end.
To do this we will create a separate function to get the number of samples,
and accumulate it independently from the sample value (weigth) and apply
the division after the accumulation is completed.
When generating callgrind format output, produce cost lines at
instruction granularity. This allows visualizers supporting the
callgrind format to display instruction-level profiling information.
We also need to provide the object file (ob=) in order for tools to find
the object file to disassemble when displaying assembly.
We opportunistically group cost lines corressponding to the same
function together, reducing the number of superfluous description lines.
Subposition compression (relative position numbering) is also used to
reduce the output size.
Add source_path option to point pprof to source files
Currently pprof will look for source files only on the current directory
and its parents. This makes it hard to examine sources on jobs where
there are multiple source trees (eg from different libraries).
Add a variable to provide a search path for source files. It will default
to the cwd, so there will be no change in behavior by default.
Generate kcachegrind reports under line granularity
Callgrind reports are generated with line granularity since kcachegrind
can take advantage of the information. However, kcachegrind reports were
not being generated with that granularity, creating an unnecessary difference.
The peek command allows looking at details of a function, and it
avoids any trimming to provide full details. However, when using
tagfocus it is useful to still limit to the filtered samples.
With this change peek will honor tagfocus, but it will avoid any
other trimming.
When reconciling samples, cleanup file paths to allow functions to be
combined if their source filenames match after cleanup (eg "src.cpp" and
"./src.cpp").
Also clean up existing uses of filepath to avoid passing empty strings
to it: filepath.Base("") returns "."
