Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing profiling implementation and its OS X-specific paths, then determine whether pprof-compatible heap-map synthesis or raw-profile symbolification is feasible; done means OS X heap profiles are emitted in a format pprof can understand.
