  /// An object representing a traced function call.

  /// A function call is represented using segments and subcalls.

  /// TracedSegment:
  ///   A traced segment is a maximal list of consecutive traced instructions
  ///   that belong to the same function call. A traced segment will end in
  ///   three possible ways:
  ///     - With a call to a function deeper in the callstack. In this case,
  ///     most of the times this nested call will return
  ///       and resume with the next segment of this segment's owning function
  ///       call. More on this later.
  ///     - Abruptly due to end of trace. In this case, we weren't able to trace
  ///     the end of this function call.
  ///     - Simply a return higher in the callstack.
  ///
  ///   In terms of implementation details, as segment can be represented with
  ///   the beginning and ending instruction IDs from the instruction trace.
  ///
  ///  UntracedPrefixSegment:
  ///   It might happen that we didn't trace the beginning of a function and we
  ///   saw it for the first time as part of a return. As a way to signal these
  ///   cases, we have a placeholder UntracedPrefixSegment class that completes the
  ///   callgraph.
  ///
  ///  Example:
  ///   We might have this piece of execution:
  ///
  ///     main() [offset 0x00 to 0x20] [traced instruction ids 1 to 4]
  ///       foo()  [offset 0x00 to 0x80] [traced instruction ids 5 to 20] # main
  ///       invoked foo
  ///     main() [offset 0x24 to 0x40] [traced instruction ids 21 to 30]
  ///
  ///   In this case, our function main invokes foo. We have 3 segments: main
  ///   [offset 0x00 to 0x20], foo() [offset 0x00 to 0x80], and main() [offset
  ///   0x24 to 0x40]. We also have the instruction ids from the corresponding
  ///   linear instruction trace for each segment.
  ///
  ///   But what if we started tracing since the middle of foo? Then we'd have
  ///   an incomplete trace
  ///
  ///       foo() [offset 0x30 to 0x80] [traced instruction ids 1 to 10]
  ///     main() [offset 0x24 to 0x40] [traced instruction ids 11 to 20]
  ///
  ///   Notice that we changed the instruction ids because this is a new trace.
  ///   Here, in order to have a somewhat complete tree with good traversal
  ///   capabilities, we can create an UntracedPrefixSegment to signal the portion of
  ///   main() that we didn't trace. We don't know if this segment was in fact
  ///   multiple segments with many function calls. We'll never know. The
  ///   resulting tree looks like the following:
  ///
  ///     main() [untraced]
  ///       foo() [offset 0x30 to 0x80] [traced instruction ids 1 to 10]
  ///     main() [offset 0x24 to 0x40] [traced instruction ids 11 to 20]
  ///
  ///   And in pseudo-code:
  ///
  ///     FunctionCall [
  ///       UntracedPrefixSegment {
  ///         symbol: main()
  ///         nestedCall: FunctionCall [ # this untraced segment has a nested
  ///         call
  ///           TracedSegment {
  ///             symbol: foo()
  ///             fromInstructionId: 1
  ///             toInstructionId: 10
  ///             nestedCall: none # this doesn't have a nested call
  ///           }
  ///         }
  ///       ],
  ///       TracedSegment {
  ///         symbol: main()
  ///         fromInstructionId: 11
  ///         toInstructionId: 20
  ///         nestedCall: none # this also doesn't have a nested call
  ///       }
  ///   ]
  ///
  ///   We can see the nested structure and how instructions are represented as
  ///   segments.
  ///
  ///
  ///   Returns:
  ///     Code doesn't always behave intuitively. Some interesting functions
  ///     might modify the stack and thus change the behavior of common
  ///     instructions like CALL and RET. We try to identify these cases, and
  ///     the result is that the return edge from a segment might connect with a
  ///     function call very high the stack. For example, you might have
  ///
  ///     main()
  ///       foo()
  ///         bar()
  ///         # here bar modifies the stack and pops foo() from it. Then it
  ///         finished the a RET (return)
  ///     main() # we came back directly to main()
  ///
  ///     I have observed some trampolines doing this, as well as some std
  ///     functions (like ostream functions). So consumers should be aware of
  ///     this.
  ///
  ///     There are all sorts of "abnormal" behaviors you can see in code, and
  ///     whenever we fail at identifying what's going on, we prefer to create a
  ///     new tree.
  ///
  ///   Function call forest:
  ///     A single tree would suffice if a trace didn't contain errors nor
  ///     abnormal behaviors that made our algorithms fail. Sadly these
  ///     anomalies exist and we prefer not to use too many heuristics and
  ///     probably end up lying to the user. So we create a new tree from the
  ///     point we can't continue using the previous tree. This results in
  ///     having a forest instead of a single tree. This is probably the best we
  ///     can do if we consumers want to use this data to perform performance
  ///     analysis or reverse debugging.
  ///
  ///   Non-functions:
  ///     Not everything in a program is a function. There are blocks of
  ///     instructions that are simply labeled or even regions without symbol
  ///     information that we don't what they are. We treat all of them as
  ///     functions for simplicity.
  ///
  ///   Errors:
  ///     Whenever an error is found, a new tree with a single segment is
  ///     created. All consecutive errors after the original one are then
  ///     appended to this segment. As a note, something that GDB does is to use
  ///     some heuristics to merge trees that were interrupted by errors. We are
  ///     leaving that out of scope until a feature like that one is really
  ///     needed.
