// Encode a call stack into RadixArray.  Return the starting index within
// RadixArray.  For each call stack we encode, we emit two or three components
// into RadixArray.  If a given call stack doesn't have a common prefix relative
// to the previous one, we emit:
//
// - the frames in the given call stack in the root-to-leaf order
//
// - the length of the given call stack
//
// If a given call stack has a non-empty common prefix relative to the previous
// one, we emit:
//
// - the relative location of the common prefix, encoded as a negative number.
//
// - a portion of the given call stack that's beyond the common prefix
//
// - the length of the given call stack, including the length of the common
//   prefix.
//
// The resulting RadixArray requires a somewhat unintuitive backward traversal
// to reconstruct a call stack -- read the call stack length and scan backward
// while collecting frames in the leaf to root order.  build, the caller of this
// function, reverses RadixArray in place so that we can reconstruct a call
// stack as if we were deserializing an array in a typical way -- the call stack
// length followed by the frames in the leaf-to-root order except that we need
// to handle pointers to parents along the way.
//
// To quickly determine the location of the common prefix within RadixArray,
// Indexes caches the indexes of the previous call stack's frames within
// RadixArray.

  // maximize the length of the common prefix between two adjacent call stacks
  // and thus minimize the length of RadixArray.  However, we go one step
  // further and try to reduce the number of times we follow pointers to parents
  // during deserilization.  Consider a poorly encoded radix tree:
  //
  // CallStackId 1:  f1 -> f2 -> f3
  //                  |
  // CallStackId 2:   +--- f4 -> f5
  //                        |
  // CallStackId 3:         +--> f6
  //
  // Here, f2 and f4 appear once and twice, respectively, in the call stacks.
  // Once we encode CallStackId 1 into RadixArray, every other call stack with
  // common prefix f1 ends up pointing to CallStackId 1.  Since CallStackId 3
  // share "f1 f4" with CallStackId 2, CallStackId 3 needs to follow pointers to
  // parents twice.
  //
  // We try to alleviate the situation by sorting the list of call stacks by
  // comparing the popularity of frames rather than the integer values of
  // FrameIds.  In the example above, f4 is more popular than f2, so we sort the
  // call stacks and encode them as:
  //
  // CallStackId 2:  f1 -- f4 -> f5
  //                  |     |
  // CallStackId 3:   |     +--> f6
  //                  |
  // CallStackId 1:   +--> f2 -> f3
  //
  // Notice that CallStackId 3 follows a pointer to a parent only once.
  //
  // All this is a quick-n-dirty trick to reduce the number of jumps.  The
  // proper way would be to compute the weight of each radix tree node -- how
  // many call stacks use a given radix tree node, and encode a radix tree from
  // the heaviest node first.  We do not do so because that's a lot of work.
