New Features
Exec Backtrace
Similar to stack traces, exec events also forms a backtrace.
In TUI, tracexec now supports viewing the backtrace of any exec events by
pressing T.
The exec backtraces shows all the exec events that lead to the selected event.
- For most events, the parent process spawns a new child process to execute the new program. (label
S) - For some event, the parent process tears it self down and directly becomes(executes) the new program. (label
B)
Go To Parent
Sometimes, reading the whole exec backtrace is unnecessary. A light-weight alternative is Go To Parent.
By pressing U on an event, the TUI will jump to and select its parent event.
In details view, pressing U will open the details of the parent event.
And in the details view of an event, we now shows its parent event's commandline.
Fixes
- Greatly improve TUI responsiveness to user input when in following mode.
Misc
- Internal refactor
- UKCI: register ukci as a GC root.
