It is a patch you apply on stock Python and you get a new configure option: "--with-dtrace". If you compile Python with that flag, you get a python interpreter with dtrace probes on it. > I noticed one odd thing in the patch: apparently the dtrace module > only exists to have a flag that tells whether it is enabled.

My plan is to (in the future) use that module to create new probes on the fly, like <http://chrisa.github.io/blog/2011/12/04/libusdt-runtime-dtrace-providers/>, and to export functions to communicate data to dtrace scripts, if running. That is, this module is currently a shell I plan to fill. - -- Jesús Cea Avión _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Twitter: @jcea _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQCVAwUBUiny4plgi5GaxT1NAQLngQP/eFoQ3rdPy12nmw8pPPO/+/RYjlhIi67+ T0n1xBJbxIvpFpIRufB+tkCfLWdb7YZKcf3Nb4V6pVsOPdbd9s6RcVWNA9Ds5mNx ISrO644CAIqRF5XgeeS5uhsODL1DrZTEfX0QBhGsU6lcqyOzSfRX2t9hRBMh3f5y 2dPMHNznJhs= =dV5g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
