Sorry, but I'm -1. I don't feel comfortable with adding a such amount of intrusive code, which will have to be maintained as the interpreter evolves, to add probes just for Solaris derivatives, which is, with all due respect, really a niche platform. So If we merge this, this should at least support SystemTap upfront. > In fact this instrumentalization can be used to locate hotspots in python > interpreter and maybe improve overall performance. You can already go a really long way with just strace and oprofile, I don't really but the performance optimization argument. Also, I must admit I'm quite skeptical about the real benefit of explicit probes for user-land, especially for CPython which isn't used for performance-critical systems... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13405> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
