// # Core Dumps
//
// A core dump is a serialized snapshot of the heap graph. We serialize the heap
// as a series of protobuf messages with each message prefixed by its Varint32
// byte size so we can delimit individual protobuf messages (protobuf parsers
// cannot determine where a message ends on their own).
//
// The first protobuf message is an instance of the `Metadata` message. All
// subsequent messages will be instances of the `Node` message. The first of
// these `Node` messages is the root node of the serialized heap graph. Here is
// a diagram of our core dump format:
//
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | Varint32: The size of following `Metadata` message.                   |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | message: The core dump `Metadata` message.                            |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message.                   |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | message: The first `Node` message. This is the root node.             |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message.                   |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | message: A `Node` message.                                            |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | Varint32: The size of the following `Node` message.                   |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | message: A `Node` message.                                            |
//     +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//     | .                                                                     |
//     | .                                                                     |

// In practice, certain message fields have a lot of duplication (such as type
// or edge name strings). Rather than try and de-duplicate this information at
// the protobuf message and field level, core dumps should be written with
// `google::protobuf::io::GzipOutputStream` and read from
// `google::protobuf::io::GzipInputStream`.
