Put on your X-ray glasses - it’s time to trace
Linus’s law states “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.” This is very true, however, if a problem is obscured, the more eyes won’t help until they can see through the blocker. This talk addresses tracing, how and when to use it, and how it can see through these issues. It is re-enforced with a real-world example of how tracing solved a performance issue in Trace Compass. We will discuss tracing, and how it plays in a world where profiling and debugging already exist.
