Thanks Steve, you are right I still have the old version with both debug*
and trace* optons but it shouldn't make a difference. it maybe that the
--trace-ignore option itself is not working for multiple objects only for
one object. because even append doesn't work for it but it works for other
options. for instance in the following command:
*--debug-flags=Cache --debug-flags=BaseBus --trace-ignore='system.cpu0'
--trace-ignore='system.cpu1' --trace-file=trace.out*
Cache and BaseBus are appended and I get their traces but for ignore part
it's not appended and doesn't even work for neither one of the objects. but
it works fine if i only have one ignore objects.
so can u do me a favor and use the above command in your new version (with
trace* replaced by debug* of course) and see if it's a version issue? if
not where can I go to fix this?
