the issue I'm experiencing , is certain applications make use of a library that has been created to include logging , we cannot recompile the code for the running applications as they are legacy applications.
so I need to add functionality in the library file and relink the source code with the library files.
a function defined in the library file called DEBUG_DATA()
-> returns function name line etc. -> this function is already used in the application , what I am required to do is on execution of this function DEBUG_DATA I need to add an event and trigger an event once the function that calls debug_data returns.
is it possible to create a trigger on an event in c where the trigger isn't called ? can this be done in runtime ? as in tweaking the stack?
EDIT: this is added to DEBUG_DATA():
void Dynatrace_Method_START(
const char *ms_FunctionName, const char *ms_FileName, int ms_LineNO)
{
#ifdef DT_USE /*a global variable needs to be initiated for stack trace lets call it int Dyna_M_SERIAL*/
DT_Current_Stack++;
if (DT_Current_Stack<=DT_STACK) {
// FILE_NAME_STRIPPER(ms_FileName);
Dyna_M_SERIAL++;
fprintf(pfile,"%d,mstart,%s,%s,%d,%s,%d\r\n",
Dyna_UID, ms_FunctionName, FILE_NAME_STRIPPER(ms_FileName), ms_LineNO,
sProgram_name, Dyna_M_SERIAL);
Line_Reference[Dyna_M_SERIAL]=ms_LineNO;
}
#endif
}
