Hi,
I am not sure I understand what kind of information one could get from
DTrace. Is it a trace? If so, it would be great to populate Dynamix
from it and then build analyses on top.
Cheers,
Doru

Hi Mariano,
I read Adrian's blog, this sounds very appealing. I will give a try
to generate a mondrian visualization. That could be cool.
I think DTrace should be part of Moose. Maybe we can add a section
on dynamic analysis that would contain DTrace and Spy?
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi folks. Today Adrian released an integration
between the Squeak/
Pharo VM and DTrace. I read his post and the code and seems VERY
interested. I know very very little about Moose, but I guess if
moose wants to move on, it should start to analyze more the runtime
world. For such purpose, it will requiere PROBABLY (almost sure) a
particular VM. For example, what I plan to do now (playing with
DistributionMap and used/unused objects) will requiere my own VM.
In this case of Adrian too. So....
The Adrian's post can be found here:

Please take a look. Not necessary to the implementation details but
to the features it can you you.
Finally, read the last sentence: "DTrace by itself does not provide
visualizations but since its output can be formatted as required
(using printf) and piped into a file, one can feed the data to a
visualization tool (e.g., print output in MSE format, import it
into Moose, and create interactive visualizations with Mondrian)."
Cheers
Mariano
