dtrace discuss - Sep 2005 - A document about implementing dtrace probes in SAX

Hi,

I have mentioned before that we have added some sdt dtrace probes in SAX, 
our APL interpreter. Encouraged by Angelo and Jignesh, I have created a 
small document (5 pages) describing our experience with it, together with 
some problems we have encountered and some scripts we use for 
pretty-printing dtrace outputs.

The said document can be found at

ftp://ftp.tor.soliton.com/pub/SAXreleases/BetaRelease/dtrace_probes_in_sax.pdf

and there are also dtrace-enabled distributions of SAX there:

ftp://ftp.tor.soliton.com/pub/SAXreleases/BetaRelease/sax621-sunos510dtrace-sparc.tar.bz2

and

ftp://ftp.tor.soliton.com/pub/SAXreleases/BetaRelease/sax621-sunos511dtrace-x86.tar.bz2

for SPARC (Solaris 10) and x86 (snv_22 and up) respectively.

If APL is completely new to you (as it is for most people), documentation 
is at

ftp://ftp.tor.soliton.com/pub/SAXreleases/BetaRelease/documentation.tgz

Suggestions/improvements/problem reports/... are welcome

Bye, Dragan

P.S. I hope that this posting won''t be understand as some form of 
advertising, it is not the intention.

Hi Dragan,

I''ve taken the liberty of adding a link to this paper from the Examples
section of the DTrace community page. Great work!

I have also created (using good old latex2html) a html version of the 
above document[1]. It''s available at

http://www.soliton.com/dtrace-probes/dtrace_probes.html

or, as a shorter link,

http://www.soliton.com/dtrace-probes/

Bye, Dragan
