Traces: a logcat replacement for C/C++ Android code

[Yotam Rubin]

Hi guys,

Traces is a tracing framework for C/C++ Linux/Android applications.
Its main features are automatic function tracing, type-aware tracing,
low overhead and colored output.
I've recently finished porting Traces to Android in order to replace
logcat usage in our log-intensive application. Feel free to check out
the project page:
https://github.com/yotamr/traces/wiki
And the Android support wiki page:
https://github.com/yotamr/traces/wiki/Android-support

Regards,
Yotam

Hi Yotam Rubin,

             I was going through the 'Traces' framework. It's a nice framework for the logging/debugging purpose. But, How we can integrate this stuff onto android? 

             Any sample usage of it with android native applications will be really useful.

Hi Sandeep,

   I plan to put up a wiki page with all the necessary documentation and patches for the Android build system.

In a nutshell, it's pretty simple, if you want a quick and dirty solution:
 1. Download the dependencies and make sure the demo works
 2. In your Android.mk, set LOCAL_CC or LOCAL_CXX to "$PATH_TO_CCWRAP.py ($TARGET_CC/CXX)
 3. ln -s TRACES_PATH $ANDROID_ROOT/external/traces
 4. Compile

You should make sure that your Android target has a directory /dev/shm in a tmpfs system.
The build will also compile trace_dumper and the trace readers, which can be run your Android target.
