40 ** The Trace Facility provides a means to trace application
41 ** program events within a process. When implementing an
42 ** application program an engineer may insert a "Trace" function
43 ** call, passing arguments to be traced. The "Trace" function
44 ** combines the user trace data with identifying data and
45 ** writes this data in time ordered sequence into a circular
46 ** in-memory buffer; when the buffer fills, it wraps.
48 ** Functions are provided to set and/or re-configure the size of
49 ** the trace buffer, control what events are recorded in the
50 ** buffer, enable and disable tracing based on specific user
51 ** supplied data and other control functions. Methods are provided
52 ** to record the trace entries in the in-memory trace buffer to
55 ** Tracing may cause a performance degredation to the application
56 ** depending on the number and placement of calls to the tracing
57 ** facility. When tracing is compiled in and all tracing is
58 ** disabled via the runtime controls, the overhead should be
59 ** minimal. ... Famous last words, eh?
61 ** When DEBUG is defined at compile time, the Trace Facility is
62 ** compiled as part of NSPR and any application using NSPR's
63 ** header files will have tracing compiled in. When DEBUG is not
64 ** defined, the Trace Facility is not compiled into NSPR nor
65 ** exported in its header files. If the Trace Facility is
66 ** desired in a non-debug build, then FORCE_NSPR_TRACE may be
67 ** defined at compile time for both the optimized build of NSPR
68 ** and the application. NSPR and any application using NSPR's
69 ** Trace Facility must be compiled with the same level of trace
70 ** conditioning or unresolved references may be realized at link
73 ** For any of the Trace Facility methods that requires a trace
74 ** handle as an input argument, the caller must ensure that the
75 ** trace handle argument is valid. An invalid trace handle
76 ** argument may cause unpredictable results.
78 ** Trace Facility methods are thread-safe and SMP safe.
80 ** Users of the Trace Facility should use the defined macros to
81 ** invoke trace methods, not the function calls directly. e.g.
82 ** PR_TRACE( h1,0,1,2, ...); not PR_Trace(h1,0,1,2, ...);
84 ** Application designers should be aware of the effects of
85 ** debug and optimized build differences when using result of the
86 ** Trace Facility macros in expressions.
