Pawel Jakub Dawidek has already written a C-like language for his Cerber project that looks like it could be used for a FreeBSD DTrace. It doesn't support associative arrays for stat collecting like D does, but it's got just about everything else. If you just wanted to track syscalls, you could almost use Cerber as-is. http://cerber.sourceforge.net/ -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
