System calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel
interface. A close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug
isolation, sanity checking and attempting to capture race conditions.
What has changed?
-----------------
A fair number of things have been changed since the last announced
release which was version 4.2. For a complete list of changes please see
the ChangeLog file in the source. The highlights are:
* Linux hppa, ia64 and s390 ports added
* The usual Linux syscall updates (includes 32bit uid/gid support),
* Linux ioctl handling code rewritten to be simpler as well as decode
more ioctls
* Supports IPv6 scope ids
* FreeBSD/i386 port added
* UnixWare and Solaris updates
* Better support for tracing multithreaded processes in Linux. Please note
that programs using pthread will still hang under strace due to signal
games they want to play.
Where can I get it?
-------------------
If you are running Debian unstable strace 4.4 source and i386 packages
will appear on mirrors later today. You can also download it directly
from the sourceforge project page, there is a link to that on the strace
homepage (http://www.liacs.nl/~wichert/strace/)
