Subject   DTrace & libtool "best practices"

Greetings, Marina.Your name was mentioned in the recent discussions on Berkeley
DB sizing and benchmarking.

As part of my performance work in Berkeley DB I am adding USDT support. Our
build process uses autoconf and libtool. We''ve created our own
Makefile.in, and do not use automake. It''s not clear what is the best
way to change our autoconf & libtool-based build process in order to call
"dtrace -G" correctly.

What guidance would you give in this situation? I have not yet found a set of
"best practices" for adding probes to a libtool-based library project.

Looking forward to the performance investigation,
