Performance and debug trace

The Performance Debugging Tool (PDT) provides trace data necessary to debug functional and performance problems for applications using the DaCS library.

Versions of the DaCS libraries built with PDT trace hooks enabled are delivered with SDK 3.0.

Installing and running the PDT

The libraries with the trace hooks enabled are packaged in separate -trace named packages. The trace enabled libraries install to a subdirectory named dacs/trace in the library install directory. These packages and the PDT are included in the SDK 3.0 package but may not be installed by default. Please refer to the PDT user's guide for full instructions on how to install PDT, and how to set the correct environment variables to cause trace events to be generated. Included in the DaCS trace package is an example PDT configuration file which shows the available trace events that can be enabled or disabled.
