5 * The Trace2 API can be used to print debug, performance, and telemetry
6 * information to stderr or a file. The Trace2 feature is inactive unless
7 * explicitly enabled by enabling one or more Trace2 Targets.
9 * The Trace2 API is intended to replace the existing (Trace1)
10 * printf-style tracing provided by the existing `GIT_TRACE` and
11 * `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE` facilities. During initial implementation,
12 * Trace2 and Trace1 may operate in parallel.
14 * The Trace2 API defines a set of high-level messages with known fields,
15 * such as (`start`: `argv`) and (`exit`: {`exit-code`, `elapsed-time`}).
17 * Trace2 instrumentation throughout the Git code base sends Trace2
18 * messages to the enabled Trace2 Targets. Targets transform these
19 * messages content into purpose-specific formats and write events to
20 * their data streams. In this manner, the Trace2 API can drive
21 * many different types of analysis.
23 * Targets are defined using a VTable allowing easy extension to other
24 * formats in the future. This might be used to define a binary format,
25 * for example.
27 * Trace2 is controlled using `trace2.*` config values in the system and
28 * global config files and `GIT_TRACE2*` environment variables. Trace2 does
29 * not read from repo local or worktree config files or respect `-c`
30 * command line config settings.
32 * For more info about: trace2 targets, conventions for public functions and
33 * macros, trace2 target formats and examples on trace2 API usage refer to
34 * Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt

43 * The public TRACE2 routines are grouped into the following groups:
45 * [] trace2_initialize -- initialization.
46 * [] trace2_cmd_* -- emit command/control messages.
47 * [] trace2_child* -- emit child start/stop messages.
48 * [] trace2_exec* -- emit exec start/stop messages.
49 * [] trace2_thread* -- emit thread start/stop messages.
50 * [] trace2_def* -- emit definition/parameter mesasges.
51 * [] trace2_region* -- emit region nesting messages.
52 * [] trace2_data* -- emit region/thread/repo data messages.
53 * [] trace2_printf* -- legacy trace[1] messages.
54 * [] trace2_timer* -- stopwatch timers (messages are deferred).
55 * [] trace2_counter* -- global counters (messages are deferred).
59 * Initialize the TRACE2 clock and do nothing else, in particular
60 * no mallocs, no system inspection, and no environment inspection.
62 * This should be called at the very top of main() to capture the
63 * process start time. This is intended to reduce chicken-n-egg
64 * bootstrap pressure.
66 * It is safe to call this more than once. This allows capturing
67 * absolute startup costs on Windows which uses a little trickery
68 * to do setup work before common-main.c:main() is called.
70 * The main trace2_initialize_fl() may be called a little later
71 * after more infrastructure is established.
73 void trace2_initialize_clock(void);
76 * Initialize TRACE2 tracing facility if any of the builtin TRACE2
77 * targets are enabled in the system config or the environment.
78 * This emits a 'version' message containing the version of git
79 * and the Trace2 protocol.
81 * This function should be called from `main()` as early as possible in
82 * the life of the process after essential process initialization.
84 * Cleanup/Termination is handled automatically by a registered
85 * atexit() routine.

152 * For example, "checkout" can checkout a single file or can checkout a
153 * different branch. This gives post-processors a simple field to compare
154 * equivalent commands without having to parse the argv.

172 * settings.
174 * Use the TR2_SYSENV_CFG_PARAM setting to register a comma-separated
175 * list of patterns configured important. For example:
176 * git config --system trace2.configParams 'core.*,remote.*.url'
177 * or:

180 * Note: this routine does a read-only iteration on the config data
181 * (using read_early_config()), so it must not be called until enough
182 * of the process environment has been established. This includes the
183 * location of the git and worktree directories, expansion of any "-c"

193 * Use the TR2_SYSENV_ENV_VARS setting to register a comma-separated list of
194 * environment variables considered important. For example:
195 * git config --system trace2.envVars 'GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT,GIT_CONFIG'

218 * "child-argv", and "child-classification".
220 * Before calling optionally set "cmd->trace2_child_class" to a string
221 * describing the type of the child process. For example, "editor" or
222 * "pager".
224 * This function assigns a unique "child-id" to `cmd->trace2_child_id`.
225 * This field is used later during the "child_exit" message to associate
226 * it with the "child_start" message.

237 * the child's elapsed time and exit-code.
239 * The reported elapsed time includes the process creation overhead and
240 * time spend waiting for it to exit, so it may be slightly longer than
241 * the time reported by the child itself.

253 * indicating whether the child was considered "ready" when we
254 * released it.
256 * This function should be called after starting a daemon process in
257 * the background (and after giving it sufficient time to boot
258 * up) to indicate that we no longer control or own it.
260 * The "ready" argument should contain one of { "ready", "timeout",
261 * "error" } to indicate the state of the running daemon when we
262 * released it.
264 * If the daemon process fails to start or it exits or is terminated
265 * while we are still waiting for it, the caller should emit a
266 * regular "child_exit" to report the normal process exit information.

278 * execvp(), and etc. On Unix-derived systems, this will be the
279 * last event emitted for the current process, unless the exec
280 * fails. On Windows, exec() behaves like 'child_start' and a
281 * waitpid(), so additional events may be emitted.
283 * Returns a unique "exec-id". This value is used later
284 * if the exec() fails and a "exec-result" message is necessary.

292 * Emit an 'exec_result' when possible. On Unix-derived systems,
293 * this should be called after exec() returns (which only happens
294 * when there is an error starting the new process). On Windows,
295 * this should be called after the waitpid().
297 * The "exec_id" should be the value returned from trace2_exec().

301 #define trace2_exec_result(id, code) \

305 * Emit a 'thread_start' event. This must be called from inside the
306 * thread-proc to allow the thread to create its own thread-local
307 * storage.
309 * The thread base name should be descriptive, like "preload_index" or
310 * taken from the thread-proc function. A unique thread name will be
311 * created from the given base name and the thread id automatically.

334 * `core.abbrev`, `status.showUntrackedFiles`, or `--no-ahead-behind`.

346 * Emits a 'worktree' event for this repo instance.
348 * Region and data messages may refer to this repo-id.
350 * The main/top-level repository will have repo-id value 1 (aka "r1").

363 * This function pushes a new region nesting stack level on the current

366 * The `category` field is an arbitrary category name used to classify
367 * regions by feature area, such as "status" or "index". At this time
368 * it is only just printed along with the rest of the message. It may
369 * be used in the future to filter messages.
371 * The `label` field is an arbitrary label used to describe the activity
372 * being started, such as "read_recursive" or "do_read_index".
374 * The `repo` field, if set, will be used to get the "repo-id", so that
375 * recursive operations can be attributed to the correct repository.
