2019-03-20trace2: NULL is not allowed for va_listLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen3-3/+3
Some compilers don't allow NULL to be passed for a va_list, and e.g. "gcc (Raspbian 6.3.0-18+rpi1+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516" errors out like this: trace2/tr2_tgt_event.c:193:18: error: invalid operands to binary && (have ‘int’ and ‘va_list {aka __va_list}’) if (fmt && *fmt && ap) { ^^ I couldn't find any hints that va_list and pointers can be mixed, and no hints that they can't either. Morten Welinder comments: "C99, Section 7.15, simply says that va_list "is an object type suitable for holding information needed by the macros va_start, va_end, and va_copy". So clearly not guaranteed to be mixable with pointers... The portable solution is to use "va_list" everywhere in the callchain. As a consequence, both trace2_region_enter_fl() and trace2_region_leave_fl() now take a variable argument list.

2019-02-22trace2: create new combined trace facilityLibravatar Jeff Hostetler16-0/+2430
Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a unified set of git_trace2* routines. In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written. This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools. Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE). * GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command summary data. * GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread, repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function nesting. * GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a series of JSON records. Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance* routines.
