Re: [PATCH] dynamic printf

This patch implements a "dynamic printf", which is basically a

Or like a tracepoint that does printf? Would it influence an operation
such as "next", for instance?



There is a tracepoint similarity; one of the vague future-direction ideas is to somehow refactor tracing and breaking so one could shift back and forth freely, for instance to decide to collect some data at a breakpoint, without having to do the formalized trace experiment setup.


I'm not sure what you mean by influencing "next"?
