oprofile is quite nice. However, systemtap is really interesting. [From a language perspective ...] it's a type-safe language with type inference that compiles down to C, compiles the C into a kernel module which is injected into the Linux kernel and lets you do all sorts of amazing stuff. The fact that it's a mainstream tool that uses proper type inference is significant alone, the fact that it's seriously useful is icing on the cake. http://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/keyword-index.html Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
