[ELPA] New package: emacs-gc-stats

[Ihor Radchenko <yantar92@posteo.net>]

Hi,

I'd like to submit a helper package to collect GC statistics during
Emacs session. See the discussion in
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/831qluuj7e.fsf@gnu.org/

-----

This package collects Emacs garbage collection statistics over time and
saves it in the format that can be shared with Emacs maintainers.

*Usage:*

Add
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'emacs-gc-stats)
;; optional
(setq gc-cons-threshold
      (* 800000 (seq-random-elt '(1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128))))
(emacs-gc-stats-mode +1)
#+end_src
to your init file to enable the statistics acquiring.

When you are ready to share the results, run =M-x emacs-gc-stats-save-session=
and then share the saved ~emacs-gc-stats-file~ (defaults to
=~/.emacs.d/emacs-gc-stats.eld=).

You can use =M-x emacs-gc-stats-clear= to clear the currently collected
session data.
