[lttng-dev] LD_PRELOAD applications using lttng-ust-pthread

[Genevieve Bastien]

Hi Majid,


See the documentation here:
http://lttng.org/docs/v2.10/#doc-using-lttng-ust-with-daemons and
http://lttng.org/docs/v2.10/#doc-liblttng-ust-fd. Firefox requires at
least one of those extra libraries to be preloaded, the one for fork I
think.


I recall trying to trace firefox with lttng-cyg-profile without much
success. Without the liblttng-ust-fork.so preloaded, my tabs had
segfaults. But when I tried with both libraries, it seemed there was a
conflict between cyg-profile and the other preloaded libraries, I don't
remember exactly what happened. Maybe you won't have this problem with
lttng-ust-libc-wrapper.


I hope this helps,

Geneviève
