RE: TRACE implementation

[Dominique Toupin <dominique.toupin@ericsson.com>]

You should see a reference implementation of GDB tracepoint for Linux (both in-process and with gdbserver) just in time for Christmas. The Eclipse CDT integration should also be available for Christmas. For CDT you will see the info just like a live debug session. In 2010 you should also see the integration with the Eclipse tracing framework in the Linux Tools project i.e. the GDB tracepoint can be merged with LTTng traces.
