Tool For Tracing

[u__meobeo]

I am working on tracing tool for complex multi-threaded distributed application ( C C++ python - running on Vxworks and Linux system ) 

I want to achieve :

--  Tracing for Linux( CentOS ) /Vxworks (preferably  single solution for both)

-- Dynamic runtime  tracing  preferable without source code modification .

-- trace functions and log function names and parameters

-- Preferably trace functions per process/thread

-- Store trace data in a buffer

-- dump the trace data to file on request.

-- Provide filtering of functions  based on user requirements

Intel has a product in Parallel Studio called:

Intel(R) Trace Analyzer

Perf utility can be used to record dynamic runtime traces of application.

    perf record <application name>

followed by

    perf report

 For custom tracing a PIN tool can be designed. Explore

For most cases you don't have to develop a new pin tool. one of the pin tool in </pin-3.7/source/tool/> folder or slightly modified version of it would do the job.
