Recent revs, concluding with rev 5567, add more features to tracing:
- Optionally show calling args and return args.
- The ability to enable traces by class name. For example::
'-.*AClassName.*' # Disables traces of all methods of the class
'-.*AClassName::.*' # Disables traces of all methods except the ctor.
I plan no further work at present on the SherlockTracer class. However, it
would be possible to override this class to gather method-specific data as
desired. I have the feeling that this might be a way to explore code more
fully.
There is a tension here: on the one hand, substantial knowledge of any code
is required in order to know what data to gather. In this sense,
subclasses would be more like documentation tools. Otoh, we need all the
help we can get exploring other people's code, so maybe an approach like
this would be valuable.
