-          There's nothing to prevent WPP from being run for debug builds too.  
That's an OpenFabrics decision, not a WPP limitation.

-          You can have ETW events log to the debugger.  A WPP trace session is 
managed explicitly, so I don't understand what you mean by your second point.

-          Filtering data, if you structure your trace messages in a logical 
way, should be trivial.

-          Right, you need to write more new code to filter the data, code that 
isn't necessarily portable to things that don't use cl_obj or al_obj or 
whatever_obj you are using at the time.  Using WPP tracing is generic, 
independent of any underlying code structure.

 Because of following reasons:


*         WPP is only run on free not in debug.

*         WPP should explicit to be operate. that means when we need it, it 
will not be.

*         Using WPP is more complicate. You need to take the binaries and 
format it. Afterward filtering of specific data is complicated.

*         Using internal data allows us to right a debugger extension and 
filter the data easily

Why not just use WPP/ETW tracing for this, rather than re-implement the 
logging?  The WPP/ETW tracing has the advantage that the logs could be gathered 
in one place and analyzed in another.  You can trace all the same information 
as you propose.

Hello,

Please review the attached proposal for adding debugging information to the 
reference count mechanism.

Thank you,
Irena
