Ruby - DTracing Ruby These scripts trace activity of the Ruby programming language, and require the DTrace Ruby provider written by Joyent. Currently, the DTrace Ruby provider is a seperate download either in patch, source or binary form. Start with the "Ruby DTrace" link on http://dtrace.joyent.com/, and after getting a version running, the scripts in this directory should work. Since the DTrace Ruby provider is under development, there is a chance that it has changed slightly by the time you are reading this, causing these scripts to either break or behave oddly. Firstly, check for newer versions of the DTraceToolkit; if it hasn't been updated and you need to use these scripts immediately, then updating them shouldn't take too long. The following was the state of the provider when these scripts were written - check for changes and update the scripts accordingly, provider ruby { probe function-entry(class, method, file, lineno); probe function-return(class, method, file, lineno); probe raise(errinfo, file, lineno); probe rescue(file, lineno); probe line(file, lineno); probe gc-begin(); probe gc-end(); probe object-create-start(object, file, lineno); probe object-create-done(object, file, lineno); probe object-free(object); };
