FYI the Mac release disappeared from the download page for some reason. Here is a direct link for anyone interested: http://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/pintool/downloads/pin-3.0-76991-clang-mac.tar.gz

Just make TracerPin work with latest PIN (3.7) on macOS, and here are the changes:

For PIN 3.7

  1. CODECACHE_ChangeMaxInsPerTrace was deprecated somewhere after 3.4. On the documentation Intel didn't even mention it on the deprecated APIs list. So delete it if you don't use the -cache flag.
  2. PIN 3.7 is compiled with -fno-exception, so try...catch in the source code should be removed.

For macOS

  1. On macOS, for some unknown reason if linked with sqlite3, the Tracer.dylib cannot be loaded. Tried compiling sqlite3 from scratch according to PIN's compilation flags, didn't work. Therefore the sqlite code should be removed, or the runtime error should be fixed.
  2. The makefile should be changed: replace .so by $(PINTOOL_SUFFIX). (Because macOS doesn't use .so but .dylib) The shell script Tracer should be also changed for macOS. (This should be the first bullet I guess ;)

I've worked on this today and got TracerPIN compiled for Intel PIN 3.15. Unfortunately, PIN 3.x is severely limited as common functions such as stat, fstat, etc. are missing implementations. These are required by SQLite so I've been hacking away at implementing them individually, but with 7 functions that have to be implemented from scratch, I'm hoping there's a better way. Regardless, if this is of interest (including these limitations), I'd be happy to make a PR.

well yeah, if you manage to revive the tracer with a decent version of PIN tools that would be great !!
