- GDBserver now support tracepoints (including fast tracepoints).
The feature is currently supported by the i386-linux and
amd64-linux builds. See the "Tracepoints support in gdbserver"
- section in the manual for more information.
+ section in the manual for more information. GDBserver JIT
+ compiles the tracepoint's conditional agent expression bytecode
+ into native code whenever possible for low overhead dynamic
+ tracepoints conditionals. For such tracepoints, an expression
+ that examines program state is evaluated when the tracepoint is
+ reached, in order to determine whether to capture trace data. If
+ the condition is simple and false, processing the tracepoint
+ finishes very quickly and no data is gathered.
