Hi apitrace folks, I've been quiet around here for a while, but I'm changing that now.
José, thanks for merging so much of my trim code at the end of last year. I'll be following up with some other code I have on hand (a big optimization for the dependency tracking and a --trim-spec option so that the user can specify a subset of what kinds of automatic trimming should be performed). I've been using commits for both of those for quite some time now, so I think they're ready. But I'll rebase them onto the latest master along with changes to the test suite to track them carefully. But first, I want to seriously propose "apitrace replay" as the name for the interface that replays a trace. I submitted this originally as "replay" and José changed it afterwards to "retrace". He had mentioned earlier in email that he preferred "retrace" for consistency with the existing implementation. I suggest that for a user, the name of the interface should be as "good" as possible and "replay" is objectively better than "retrace". The user also doesn't see the implementation so will not be aware of any inconsistency. But if consistency is what's preventing a good name for the interface, I'm happy to fix that as well. I've written patches to rename everything in the implementation and the test suite from "retrace" to "replay" and the test suite still passes. I'll email these patches[*] out now, and I'll be interested in feedback. -Carl [*] I'm using email for this since I don't have good network connectivity at the moment and it's much easier for me to queue up email (which will just go out as soon as I'm connected again) than to queue up git pushes. That said, José, I'm willing to revisit other collaboration strategies. Earlier you said you would prefer to work together on feature branches within the main repository. I'm willing to experiment with that, so let me know what you need from me to get that setup.
