DTrace Hangout 18 August 2016
There was a tracing session at BSDCam and the notes from that session are here: BSDCam Notes
- markj has added the illumos if statement code to HEAD and plans to MFC it in the near future
- Loops have not yet made it into Illumos.
- gnn talks about adding compressed files as an output mode
- markj mentions that dtrace(8) has already used up many of the option characters and wonders what we should do about that. Perhaps a -x option space makes sense.
- shrikanth asks about the MFC of boot time DTrace (anonymous tracing) and offers to test
shrikanth says they found a bug when running two instances of DTrace and will send a backtrace to dtrace@freebsd.org
- markj wants to turn on the tests in src.conf but will need to do a bit more work before that can be on by default
