Could you build this?
No Parsing gigabyte-scale HPROF binary files, constructing object reference dominator trees, and calculating retained sizes in a standalone binary requires specialized systems programming and graph algorithms.
What it would actually take: A developer needs to write a high-performance parser in Rust, C++, or Go that follows the HPROF binary specification, handles off-heap memory mapping for multi-gigabyte dumps, and implements the Lengauer-Tarjan dominator tree algorithm to compute retained sizes without running out of memory. This requires deep systems performance engineering and algorithmic mastery.
