etrace: A run-time tracing tool ------------------------------- These source files comprise a simple but efficient utility that allows the display of a function call tree in a C program at run-time. It is also possible to dump the results of a program execution to an ASCII file for later examination. * ptrace.c compiles your code to enable this run-time tracing * etrace is a Python script that will perform the run-time tracing by displaying the function names as they are called * etrace.pl is a Perl script that will perform the run-time tracing by displaying the function names as they are called. Moreover, etrace.pl can be used to trace dynamic libraries.
