Successful
End Date of the Review Period:

Wednesday, September 20, 2017
Project: 
Eclipse Trace Compass™
Release: 

3.1.0

Description: 

Trace Compass 3.1.0 is a minor release that ships with the Oxygen.1 update release

This release will be part of Oxygen.1.

 

API Certification: 

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues: 

The release is a small increment of our previous 3.0.0/Oxygen release. 

There are no architectural changes for the core framework.

The data model and view implementation of XY charts have been decoupled to improve maintainability, testability and extendability. New APIs have been provided for that.

Security Issues: 

There are no security issues.

Non-Code Aspects: 

Trace Compass documentation is kept up-to-date for added and changed features. The developer and user guides are available as Eclipse help plug-ins and are part of the installable features. The latest released versions are also available on the Eclipse Foundation's web page.

Usability Details: 

No changes regarding usability in this release.

End of Life: 

We have no end-of-life issues to discuss at this time.

A few API has been deprecated. New APIs have been added for later replacement. They will be removed for the 4.0 release for Photon.

Standards: 

Trace Compass comes with multipe built-in trace parsers for the following standard:

  • Common Trace Format (CTF) - v1.8.2

    • Linux LTTng kernel traces

    • Linux LTTng-UST userspace traces which can come from proprietary software or open source eg. Mir, MariaDB, QEMU traces

    • Other traces in CTF, e.g. Linux Perf traces (CTF), Bare metal traces (CTF), Hardware traces (e.g. IEEE Nexus 5001 CTF conversion).

  • GDB traces for debugging

  • Best Trace Format for OSEK

  • The libpcap (PAcket CAPture) format, for network traces

Trace Compass provides a remote tracer control for LTTng Kernel and UST Tracers for configuring of trace sessions. It supports the MI versions 2.0 and 3.0.

For the integration of the command-line analysis Trace Compass is able to consume analysis results specified by the LTTng Analysis Machine Interface.

 

Communities: 
  • 9 active committers from 3 different organizations

  • Trace Compass can be setup using Oomph.

  • User interaction via Bugzilla, IRC chat (#tracecompass) and mailing list (tracecompass-dev@eclipse.org)

  • Bugzilla has been used for planning and bug tracking

  • Centralized update site and download page for the standalone RCP

  • Strong relationship with the LTTng project. Project members interact with this community via mailing list (lttng-dev@lists.lttng.org).

  • Trace Compass is part of the Eclipse C/C++ EPP. One committer is also committer in CDT.

  • Trace Compass has been the preferred Trace Analysis Tool for students as part of the trace research projects with the Polytechnique Montreal university. Many new features and enhancements for Trace Compass have been a direct outcome of  the reseach projects. See below for a link to the current active research track:
