// A blame context represents a logical unit to which we want to attribute
// different costs (e.g., CPU, network, or memory usage). An example of a blame
// context is an <iframe> element on a web page. Different subsystems can
// "enter" and "leave" blame contexts to indicate that they are doing work which
// should be accounted against this blame context.
//
// A blame context can optionally have a parent context, forming a blame context
// tree. When work is attributed to a particular blame context, it is considered
// to count against all of that context's children too. This is useful when work
// cannot be exactly attributed into a more specific context. For example,
// Javascript garbage collection generally needs to inspect all objects on a
// page instead looking at each <iframe> individually. In this case the work
// should be attributed to a blame context which is the parent of all <iframe>
// blame contexts.

 public:
  // Construct a blame context belonging to the blame context tree |name|, using
  // the tracing category |category|, identified by |id| from the |scope|
  // namespace. |type| identifies the type of this object snapshot in the blame
  // context tree. |parent_context| is the parent of this blame context or
  // null. Note that all strings must have application lifetime.
  //
  // For example, a blame context which represents a specific <iframe> in a
  // browser frame tree could be specified with:
  //
  //   category="blink",
  //   name="FrameTree",
  //   type="IFrame",
  //   scope="IFrameIdentifier",
  //   id=1234.
  //
  // Each <iframe> blame context could have another <iframe> context as a
  // parent, or a top-level context which represents the entire browser:
  //
  //   category="blink",
  //   name="FrameTree",
  //   type="Browser",
  //   scope="BrowserIdentifier",
  //   id=1.
  //
  // Note that the |name| property is identical, signifying that both context
  // types are part of the same tree.
