Step 5 - Compiling a D-Trace Script
==Step 5 - Compiling a D-Trace Script==
I have written 2 DTrace scripts. The first one captures and outputs any calls found on the javascript*:::function-entry probe(basically the event fired when a function was entered or processed), along with how many times. The second one outputs the I/O buffer sizes your processes use.
D-Trace scripts are .d files that allow the user to interact with the existing probes and do innovative things. If a programmer tends to add new probes to the Mozilla code base, they can use a script to pick up on it to make sure it was implemented and interacted properly.
With your terminal that isn't handling Mozilla Minefield, go to your mozilla home directory.
