Tracing has other uses besides debugging though.

The OP said he wished to implement a C trace function for bdb.
Wouldn't that make it only applicable to debugging?

Once you are at the breakpoint and stepping through the code manually, the performance is not all that important. However, up until that breakpoint, you are running a lot of code "in bulk". It would be useful to have a performant trace function that interferes with that code the least.
