Thanks, but I should stress that my example here didn't do much that was really advanced. There was a little ftrace and BPF, gdb reverse stepping and the TUI, but the other gdb commands are routine. I guess what's useful is explaining everything, including caveats that you can hit even with the basic stuff.

No, I'm not complaining, it's just odd seeing you primarily work with solaris for so many years, and now talking about linux toolsets instead. I mean, I still remember you dissmissing SystemTap, although I believe you later said it had improved... Speaking of which, as I understand it, dbx is to gdb as adb is to mdb. So other than syntax, what IS difference between the adb and dbx families, as you've clearly used both?
