CodeTracer is a user-friendly time-traveling debugger designed to support a wide range of programming languages.

It records the execution of a program into a sharable self-contained trace file. You can load the produced trace files in a GUI environment that allows you to move forward and backward through the execution and to examine the history of all memory locations.

Dynamic Tracing in Linux.

A light-weight dynamic tracer for Linux that leverages the kernel's BPF VM in concert with kprobes and tracepoints to attach probes to arbitrary points in the kernel. Most tracers that generate BPF bytecode are based on the LLVM based BCC toolchain. ply on the other hand has no required external dependencies except for libc. In addition to x86_64, ply also runs on aarch64, arm, loongarch, mips, riscv64, riscv32, and powerpc. Adding support for more ISAs is easy.
