// This file demonstrates how to use the general-purpose parser (SigParser) by
// deriving a new class from it and overriding the virtuals.
//
// In this case we're simply printing the notifications to stdout as we receive
// them, using pretty indenting.
//
// Look at PlugInToYourProfiler.cpp to see how to drive this.
