+/// The ProfileCollectorService implements a centralised mechanism for
+/// collecting FunctionCallTrie instances, indexed by thread ID. On demand, the
+/// ProfileCollectorService can be queried for the most recent state of the
+/// data, in a form that allows traversal.
+namespace profileCollectorService {
+
+/// Posts the FunctionCallTrie associated with a specific Thread ID. This
+/// will:
+///
+/// - Make a copy of the FunctionCallTrie and store that against the Thread
+/// ID. This will use the global allocator for the service-managed
+/// FunctionCallTrie instances.
+/// - Queue up a pointer to the FunctionCallTrie.
+/// - If the queue is long enough (longer than some arbitrary threshold) we
+/// then pre-calculate a single FunctionCallTrie for the whole process.
+///
+///
+/// We are making a copy of the FunctionCallTrie because the intent is to have
+/// this function be called at thread exit, or soon after the profiling
+/// handler is finalized through the XRay APIs. By letting threads each
+/// process their own thread-local FunctionCallTrie instances, we're removing
+/// the need for synchronisation across threads while we're profiling.
+/// However, once we're done profiling, we can then collect copies of these
+/// FunctionCallTrie instances and pay the cost of the copy.
+///
+/// NOTE: In the future, if this turns out to be more costly than "moving" the
+/// FunctionCallTrie instances from the owning thread to the collector
+/// service, then we can change the implementation to do it this way (moving)
+/// instead.

+/// The serialize will process all FunctionCallTrie instances in memory, and
+/// turn those into specifically formatted blocks, each describing the
+/// function call trie's contents in a compact form. In memory, this looks
+/// like the following layout:
+///
+/// - block size (32 bits)
+/// - block number (32 bits)
+/// - thread id (64 bits)
+/// - list of records:
+/// - function ids in leaf to root order, terminated by
+/// 0 (32 bits per function id)
+/// - call count (64 bit)
+/// - cumulative local time (64 bit)
+/// - record delimiter (64 bit, 0x0)
+///
+void serialize();
+
+/// The reset function will clear out any internal memory held by the
+/// service. The intent is to have the resetting be done in calls to the
+/// initialization routine, or explicitly through the flush log API.

+
+/// This nextBuffer function is meant to implement the iterator functionality,
