How to trace a program execution with ptrace?

2019-09-04 18:15发布

I've been trying to use the system call "ptrace" (using the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP macro) to trace the execution of a simple application.

While recording the execution of the program I would like to skip the useless part of the reading to only follow from the 'main' of my application. Because whenever I launch my tracer I get around 100k execution steps.

You may want to insert a breakpoint at main entry, wait for a SIGTRAP to arrive, restore the instruction under the breakpoint, and single-step from there.
