Subject: [PATCH v1 6/7] perf ui hist: Format group headers iteratively based on proportional visual allocations
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 23:37:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824063744.1533837-7-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824063744.1533837-1-irogers@google.com>
Forcefully calculate proportional visual allocations only natively for
the 'Total' merge target header instead of uniformly ballooning array
spacings. Unpack strings directly into the primary column width fn.
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
