It is aimed at providing developers and system administrators with the ability to examine and analyze multi-host, multi-process, and multi-threaded systems while they are running. This is the second release of Frysk. The initial release of Frysk occurred on April 4, 2008 and was tagged as version 0.2.1. Contributors to the 0.3 release were: Andrew Cagney, Thiago Jung Bauermann, Mark Wielaard, Petr Machata, Phil Muldoon, Rick Moseley, Sami Wagiaalla, Stan Cox and Teresa Thomas. Here are some of the improvements that were incorporated during April: - Exported a prototype of low level watchpoint api on IA32,X8664 (PPC* will be covered by IBM) - Implemented the watch command which exposes the watchpoint api in fhpd. - Updated various frysk man pages. - Created ProcRunUtil and re-based fcatch,fstep,ferror ontop of it. - Added ability to kill procs from fhpd. - Solidified passing parameters to run command and reusing history. - Added support for elf symbol look-ups. - Modified the frysk web-page to automatically update it self using the latest entry from planet frysk. - Removed the CDT parser from frysk. - Rewritten ftrace to use more frysk infrastructure. - Adapted frysk symbol search code so that it can be used by breakpoints, as well as expression evaluation. - Fully implemented sysroot functionality in frysk. - Improved and tested stepping, particularly stepping through signal handlers. - Imported a newer version of upstream elfutils. - Fixed breakpoints to work correctly through forks. Known limitations: some test that are working in-tree fail when installed.
