[ANN] DTrace for Squeak/Pharo

Now there's also a DTrace provider for the Squeak VM:

http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/blog?dialog=smalltak-meets-dtrace

DTrace is a powerful, kernel-based dynamic tracing framework. With the new provider one can analyze the execution of Pharo/Squeak applications.

My post is an introduction that should get you quickly started. I've attached a pre-compiled VM for OS X.

Hope you like it :)

Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Adrian, this sounds AMAZING. I am reading the post and trying to make it work, but have a problem trying to lunch start.command
I have Mac OS 10.5.8

/Users/mariano/Pharo/VM/pharo-dtrace/start.command ; exit;
SQUEAK_ENCODING=UTF-8
SQUEAK_PATHENC=UTF-8
SQUEAK_PLUGINS=/Users/mariano/Pharo/VM/pharo-dtrace/VM/%n
+ exec /Users/mariano/Pharo/VM/pharo-dtrace/VM/squeakvm PharoCore-1.0.image
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
/Users/mariano/Pharo/VM/pharo-dtrace/start.command: line 4: 8676 Trace/BPT trap ./VM/squeak PharoCore-1.0.image
logout

[Process completed]

Thanks!

Mariano

Hi Mariano,

It's probably a versioning problem as I am on 10.6.3 (like [1]).

I'll send you in a private mail the generated VM sources so you can try to compile yourself if you like.

Cheers,
Adrian

Ah, nice, yes very nice.

One interesting one to have a probe for would be ioShowDisplayOnWindow so one can understand how much screen drawing goes on.

Re: [ANN] DTrace for Squeak/Pharo

Hi John,

DTrace on my unix VM thinks it does not know ioShowDisplayOnWindow (I guess because I use X11 display). With a Mac VM I it works. To trace ioShowDisplayOnWindow you don't need a dedicated probe (and hence no specialized VM). The DTrace "pid" provider allows you to trace any function entry (and return):

pid$target::ioShowDisplayOnWindow:entry
{
printf("%s'%s\n", probemod, probefunc);
}

Cheers,
Adrian
