Driving home the point that we might actually share much more ideas with
something like gdb was the talk by Jim Blandy on gdb, tracepoints and
kprobes for debugging the linux kernel you are running
on your machine. This was really fascinating and he gave a very
impressive demo of collecting live trace data on the machine he was
giving the presentation on and then using the captured information to
drive gdb to show the call-stack, registers, function arguments and
contents of various structs passed around at various times during the
trace. http://www.red-bean.com/trac/tracepoints
The video (Ogg/Theora) of his presentation is online at:
