Long ago, in the time before React, I’d forked and fixed an older perl program that prettied up trace output from C programs. The binaries need(ed) to be instrumented using function call hooks feature in GCC (or most any other C compiler) but it’s pretty handy for doing what you described. Faster than GDB tracing usually. I forget the exact details but you can see the setup on my GitHub if you want to try it: https://github.com/elcritch/etrace https://github.com/elcritch/etrace Edit: grammar
