package trace

0.6

• add ppx_trace for easier instrumentation.

  • let%trace span = "foo" in … will enter a scope span named "foo"

  • let%trace () = "foo" in … will enter a scope named "foo" with a hidden name

• add trace-fuchsia backend, which produces traces in the binary format of fuchsia. These traces are reasonably efficient to produce (~60ns per span on my machines) and reasonably compact on disk, at least compared to the TEF backend.

0.5

• perf: reduce overhead in trace-tef

• perf: add Mpsc_queue, adapted from picos, to trace-tef

0.4

• add ?data to counter_int and counter_float

• add float to user data

• add add_data_to_current_span and add_data_to_manual_span

• make explicit_span.meta mutable

• trace-tef: write to trace.json if env variable TRACE is either 1 or true

• trace-tef: emit function name, if provided, as a metadata key/value pair

• re-export trace.core in trace

• perf: in trace-tef, use broadcast instead of signal in the job queue

0.3

• add explicit spans, for more precise tracing

• rename repo to ocaml-trace

• trace-tef: add a ticker thread to ensure we flush the file regularly

0.2

• trace-tef: additional argument to with_setup; env for "stdout"/"stderr"

• refactor: avoid conflicting with stdlib Trace module by adding sublibrary trace.core. Programs that use compiler-libs.toplevel should use trace.core directly, because using trace will cause linking errors.

• perf(trace-tef): improve behavior of collector under contention by pulling all events at once in the worker
