Ruby-DTrace is Ruby bindings for Dtrace, which allows you to add
DTrace probes to your Ruby programs, and to write D-based programs
with Ruby.
== FEATURES
Consumer:
* Access to the D API
* Probe metadata
* Run D programs
* Access aggregates
* Consume output from D programs
Probes:
* Create USDT providers from Ruby, at runtime.
* No code-generation or gcc/linker dependency
== SYNOPSIS
Consumer: see Dtrace
require 'Dtrace'
t = Dtrace.new
progtext = 'ruby$1:::function-entry{ @a[strjoin(strjoin(copyinstr(arg0),"."),copyinstr(arg1))] = count(); } END { printa(@a); }'
prog = t.compile progtext
prog.execute
t.go
[...]
c = DtraceConsumer.new(t)
c.consume_once do |rec|
# handle records
end
Probes: see Dtrace::Provider
require 'dtrace/provider'
Dtrace::Provider.create :rubyprog do |p|
p.probe :foo, :string, :string
p.probe :bar, :integer, :integer
end
Dtrace::Probe::Rubyprog.foo do |p|
p.fire('fired!', 'again')
end
Dtrace::Probe::Rubyprog.bar do |p|
p.fire(42, 27)
end
== REQUIREMENTS
* For the consumer API, platform with DTrace support (OpenSolaris, Mac
OS X 10.5 Leopard tested, possibly also FreeBSD).
* For the probe API, a platform with DTrace support, on i386. (Mac OS
X on PowerPC, Solaris on SPARC and FreeBSD on anything to come).
* root, or some/all of the dtrace privileges on Solaris: dtrace_user,
dtrace_proc and dtrace_kernel.
== INSTALL
$ sudo gem install chrisa-ruby-dtrace --source=http://gems.github.com
