NAME

eztrace_create_plugin - creates an EZTrace plugin

SYNOPSIS

eztrace_create [OPTION] FILE

DESCRIPTION

Generate an EZTrace plugin

OPTIONS

-I <incdir1,incdir2,..., --include_dir=<incdir1,incdir2,...>>
Add specific include directories for the compilation of the generated code.
-o <dir, --output=<dir>>
Select the output directory.
-h --help
Print a brief help message and exits.

EXAMPLES

eztrace_create_plugin generates the source code of an EZTrace plugin described by a template file. The template file has to be structure as follows:
--- foo.tpl
 
BEGIN_MODULE
 
NAME example_lib
 
DESC "module for the example library"
 
LANGUAGE C
 
ID 99
 
int foo(int n)
 
BEGIN
 

EVENT("Do function foo")
 
END
 
void bar(int n)
 
BEGIN
 

RECORD_STATE("running function bar")
 
END
 
END_MODULE
 
--- end of foo.tpl
Passing foo.tpl to eztrace_create_plugin will result in a directory (default: output) that contains the source code of an EZTrace plugin that intercepts the foo and bar functions. $ eztrace_create_plugin foo.tpl
 
New Module
 
Module name : 'example_lib'
 
Module description : '"module for the example library"'
 
Language : 'C'
 
Module id : '99'
 
Function 'foo' done
 
Function 'bar' done
 
End of Module example_lib
Once the generated source code is compiled, the resulting plugin can be used with eztrace or eztrace.old:
$ cd output
 
$ make
 
$ export EZTRACE_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
 
$ eztrace_avail
 
3 stdio Module for stdio functions (read, write, select, poll, etc.)
 
2 pthread Module for PThread synchronization functions (mutex, semaphore, spinlock, etc.)
 
6 papi Module for PAPI Performance counters
 
1 omp Module for OpenMP parallel regions
 
4 mpi Module for MPI functions
 
5 memory Module for memory functions (malloc, free, etc.)
 
153 example_lib module for the example library
 
$ eztrace -t example_lib my_application
 
[...]
