[KIEKER-856] Instrumentation of C and or ELF-Format programs

[rju]

JIRA Issue: KIEKER-856 Instrumentation of C and or ELF-Format programs Original Reporter: Reiner Jung

---

We have a example implementation of C-based monitoring probes and records in the context of the Kieker Dara Bridge (KDB). Goal of this ticket is the development of a well defined run-time API and aspect weaving of probes in software based on C object files, or ELF library technology.

Code is available in:

• git clone git@build.se.informatik.uni-kiel.de:de.cau.se.instrumentation.language (read write access)
• git clone http://build.se.informatik.uni-kiel.de/de.cau.se.instrumentation.language.git (read only)

Sören realized instrumentation on source level. ELF binary instrumentation is very complex and would require special weavers. We should keep this idea, as it might be useful someday.

The project was completed years ago. The code is still available and will be packed in a publicly available git repository.
