[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] trace: only create simple backend trace files when an event is emitted. |
Date: |

Previously, trace record files (created by st_set_trace_file_enabled(true))
were created by the simple backend at initialization time, even if no events
were actually enabled.
As a consequence, the working directory would become littered with trace-PID
files just by enabling the simple backend at configure time, even when no
-trace options were used.
---
I've been using this to avoid creation of empty trace record files. I haven't
done any scientific performance studies, but an extra function
call/conditional/return when recording every trace event doesn't seem to have
any noticeable effect.
