pid Provider

The pid provider enables tracing of the entry and return of any function in a user process as well as any instruction as specified by an absolute address or function offset. The pid provider has no probe effect when probes are not enabled. When probes are enabled, the probes only induce probe effect on those processes that are traced.

Note:

When the compiler inlines a function, the pid provider's probe does not fire. Use one of the following methods to compile a particular C function so that it will not be inlined.

• Oracle Developer Studio: #pragma no_inline (funcname[, funcname])

• gcc: funcname __attribute__ ((noinline))

  Consult your compiler documentation for updates.
