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:
http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/blog
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
