DTraq is a data logging and playback debugging tool providing near realtime data logging and analysis to aid debugging and validation. Captured, or 'tapped' data from a program can be viewed live while the program is running or, since it is being logged to a file, played back or printed out later for off-line review and analysis. DTraq differs from other logging and playback tools in that no data layout maps or byte interpretations or "data dumpers" need to be manually created. Nor is the application responsible for converting the raw binary data to text form before logging it. DTraq handles all conversion automatically by scanning the application's source code, identifying tapped data items, and extracting the information it needs to properly convert and display the logged items-simple scalar items as well as arrays and records. When the layout of data items change, rescanning automatically picks up the changes. The DTraq binary distribution,comprehensive documentation, and source code is available for download at http://www.mckae.com/dtraq.html. DTraq is currently available for Linux systems running GNAT 3.15p. DTraq operation has been verified on both RedHat 8.0 and RedHat 9.0 Linux distributions (albeit the user needs to set an environment variable when using the latter distribution--a README.RedHat9 file in the distribution covers this). Because DTraq utilizes ASIS-for-GNAT, which is tightly bound to a corresponding compiler version (in this case 3.15p), DTraq has currently been validated only against GNAT 3.15p.
