Out of curiosity what motivated this patch? When adding the tracepoints, I found the overhead of compiling in but not enabling them to be insignificant, i.e. nearly unmeasurable in throughput benchmarks, so didn't believe it warranted a config option. Especially one that advises people to turn off what may be a useful aid in desktop systems.
Also is TRACER the right name, that would seem to confuse the option with a standalone tracer as opposed to simply enabling tracepoints. -ickle -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
