Oracle works on Dtrace for Linux (The H)

Oracle works on Dtrace for Linux (The H)
[Development] Posted Oct 6, 2011 19:01 UTC (Thu) by jake

The H reports on Oracle's plans to bring DTrace to (Oracle) Linux. "There is no word on what the Linux port of 'Dynamic Tracing Facility' (also known as Dtrace) will look like, but it is considered a major function in newer versions of Solaris. A blog post by Dtrace co-inventor Adam Leventhal indicates that few details are known, though he does say that it will be interesting to see how Oracle clears up licensing issues."
