--- Comment #2 from Andrew Somerville <andy.somervi...@gmail.com> --- I really love heaptrack. Thank you so much for writing it/ and putting in so much time! The particular use case on my end is that we're using heaptrack for continuous integration to compare successive versions of our software to detect heap behavior changes. I don't know about others, but I'd be ok with API and ABI changing often as long the version number incremented such that incompatibilities can be known to dependees. Using the current text output requires that we develop/test a parser that we are confident is correct and then create data-structures to parse into to re-consume the data. That seems wasteful/undesirable considering before it's printed it's already in well structured objects. Another possible alternative would be a printer which outputs to a standard output format that already has easily available parsers, like yaml, or json. Such a change would add a dependency on a yaml or json parser library unless it was formatted by hand. >From a practical standpoint for myself, we can produce a custom version of heaptrack which exports the interfaces we care about rather than depending on the official version, but I can imagine other might also benefit. I can offer to make a patch for such an output if it would be acceptable/desirable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
