The following are examples of the results of running the rb_calls.d script. This script traces activity from all Ruby programs on the system that are running with Ruby provider support. In this example we see it running while the Code/Ruby/func_abc.rb script is run. # rb_calls.d Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C FILE TYPE NAME CALLS . obj-new NoMemoryError 1 . obj-new SystemStackError 1 . obj-new ThreadGroup 1 . obj-new fatal 1 func_abc.rb method Object::func_a 1 func_abc.rb method Object::func_b 1 func_abc.rb method Object::func_c 1 . obj-new Object 3 func_abc.rb method IO::write 3 func_abc.rb method Module::method_added 3 func_abc.rb method Object::print 3 func_abc.rb method Object::sleep 3 We can see that the file func_abc.rb called each of the user-defined functions included in the script; func_a, func_b, and func_c. It also called the print object and sleep amongst other things. Interspersed in the output are calls to new objects that are not tied to the program func_abc.rb. They are called from the Ruby engine for some other reason.
