Hi,

I did not try to look into httpd as you require but here are some pointers.

Quoting Mehran Khan <i at mehrankhan.com>:

Did you do a #define TRACEPOINT_DEFINE in main.c and also include your
smallestTracePoint.h?

I do not know why -finstrument-functions is required here. Its independent of
lttng tracepoints afaik.

Why not export LDFLAGS='-llttng-ust' before configure or maybe add it in the
Makefile/Makefile.in whatever httpd uses.

I can't see -llttng-ust in the build command.

You definitely need to include this in the build but I don't think an auto
generated Makefile is a good place.

For your convenience, I instrumented thttpd here [1]. Its a tiny and fast web
server. There is 1 tracepoint in handle_newconnect() Have a look at
Makefile.in, thttpd_tp.c and thttpd_tp_provider.h

If you want generated traces, do let me know.
