[GSOC 2014] structured output of strace

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
 I'm yangmin zhu. I'm a master student from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and now I'm participating in the Google Summer of Code 2014.
 I'm working for the strace project about structured output. You can find more information from [1] and [2]. and I find out your work from [3]
 I think it would be great to contact the strace output parser's author to collect their actual needs. I'm trying to modify strace to support output in JSON format. But I'm not very clear what the exact format you want.
  For examole,
1) should all the value in the JSON output be string? or some value should be 
number?
2) which of the followling style of syscall's arguments do you prefer?
  "args" : ["arg1", "arg2", "arg3" ]
or
  "arg1" : [ "arg1_name" : "arg1_value", "arg2_name" : "arg2_value" }

ANY suggestion are welcome.

Thank you.
yangmin zhu

I see you also emailed the strace-devel@ mailing list. This is the right thing 
to do, since the swarming project is not registered to GSoC (at least not this 
year). And the work has to be done upstream on the strace project first, so 
that once it is completed we can update our code for it. I'll email the 
strace-devel mailing list to explain what would be usable for us.
