Comments on: Linux’s ptrace API sucks! http://blog.codef00.com/2008/01/29/linuxs-ptrace-api-sucks/ Just some thoughts from a computer geek Wed, 07 Jan 2009 03:22:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Evan Teran http://blog.codef00.com/2008/01/29/linuxs-ptrace-api-sucks/#comment-489 Evan Teran Sun, 07 Dec 2008 03:36:38 +0000 http://www.blog.codef00.com/2008/01/29/linuxs-ptrace-api-sucks/#comment-489 at first glance, systemtap looks pretty cool. Though I think it is trying to fill a different void than the ptrace API. I would imagine that systemtap is implemented using ptrace and provides a nicer abstraction (which is a good thing and ptrace is deeply annoying). Maybe I'll take a look at the source and see what techniques they use. Thanks. at first glance, systemtap looks pretty cool. Though I think it is trying to fill a different void than the ptrace API.

I tried to erase from my memory all that you have thus documented here, for good reason. Tell me, other that utrace, whats your opinion on something like <a href="http://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/" rel="nofollow">SystemTap</a>? aaaah, yes.
