GSoC 2013 idea: support a new language binding for lttng

GSoC 2013 idea: support a new language binding for lttng

[Xiaona Han]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 372 bytes --]

Dear all,
    I am very interested in lttng of GSoC 2013. I find that current lttng
only supports python. I want to support another language binding for lttng.
I am familiar with Lua and SWIG. By adding Lua language support, lttng
could be used by Lua developers and users.  Are there anyone interested in
mentoring me about this idea? Thanks.


Best regards,
Xiaona Han.

Done. The main change of the proposal is the timeline part. Thanks.

Hi Xiaona,

I taken a look at your proposal for GSoC. As you say here, looking at
the babeltrace API could also be interesting and could fit very well in
the time frame. Last year, we had an intern doing the binding for Python
and i fitted well in 4 months.
I would also suggest, that you add some exploration for the addition of
UST tracepoint to the lua language. This one is probably more
complicated, so it might be added to the description as an additionnal
item if time permit.

Hi Yannick
   Thanks for your encouragement. I take a quick look at the source code of
lttng and find that lttng-tools has python bindings code. It means that
support Lua bindings mainly need finish the code, documentations and tests
for the lttng-tools. What about babeltrace? Do we need support  Lua
bindings for babeltrace APIs in this project?

Hi,

I have some experience with Lua, so I could probably act as a mentor on
this one.
It would be interesting to find a specific use case to instrument that is
applied to the Lua language. Lot of games use this language, so I can see
some use at least there.

Hi Jérémie,
   There is no need for current LTTng contributor to be proficient in Lua.
During the summer, a mentor just provides guidance on the LTTng side and I
will  sort out the Lua side, making the binding is suitable and native for
Lua users.
   For your second concern, if there is no one would maintain the bindings
after GSoC, I would like to continue working on it. Lua is a lightweight
scripting language and is easy to be maintained.  Thanks.

Best Regards,
Xiaona Han.

[Jérémie Galarneau]

My main concern is that I don't know if any current LTTng contributor
is proficient in Lua and will be able to provide the necessary
guidance. That also raises the important question of finding someone
who will maintain the bindings after GSoC.

Hi Xiaona,

This could be feasible. I don't know how the others LTTng developers
would feel about adding other language bindings.

Thoughts?
