A lightweight dynamic instrumentation library

  Bad news if you primarily develop on Linux, from the readme: "Currently Windows only (32- and 64-bit). Mac OS support might be considered in the future"

  > can be used to instrument only selected module(s) in the process Sigh, what does it mean "to instrument" in this context?

    Inject arbitrary code ("instrumentation") at arbitrary locations in the target program. This can be used to build tools for profiling, measuring code coverage, tracing memory accesses, counting instructions, etc. Some examples: I think vtune uses Pin (linked from the readme) to inject profiling instrumentation, and valgrind is a heavy instrumentation framework that's used to build tools like memcheck and cachegrind.
