Un posible uso de las especulaciones consiste en resaltar una determinada ruta de código. En el siguiente ejemplo, se muestra la ruta de código completa debajo de la llamada del sistema open(2) cuando falla la función open():
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -Fs syscall::open:entry, syscall::open64:entry { /* * The call to speculation() creates a new speculation. If this fails, * dtrace(1M) will generate an error message indicating the reason for * the failed speculation(), but subsequent speculative tracing will be * silently discarded. */ self->spec = speculation(); speculate(self->spec); /* * Because this printf() follows the speculate(), it is being * speculatively traced; it will only appear in the data buffer if the * speculation is subsequently commited. */ printf("%s", stringof(copyinstr(arg0))); } fbt::: /self->spec/ { /* * A speculate() with no other actions speculates the default action: * tracing the EPID. */ speculate(self->spec); } syscall::open:return, syscall::open64:return /self->spec/ { /* * To balance the output with the -F option, we want to be sure that * every entry has a matching return. Because we speculated the * open entry above, we want to also speculate the open return. * This is also a convenient time to trace the errno value. */ speculate(self->spec); trace(errno); } syscall::open:return, syscall::open64:return /self->spec && errno != 0/ { /* * If errno is non-zero, we want to commit the speculation. */ commit(self->spec); self->spec = 0; } syscall::open:return, syscall::open64:return /self->spec && errno == 0/ { /* * If errno is not set, we discard the speculation. */ discard(self->spec); self->spec = 0; }
Si se ejecuta la secuencia de comandos anterior, la salida es parecida a la siguiente:
