  Thanks. I am playing around your qemu-dbi, and has error below.

$ make
  LINK  i386-softmmu/qemu-system-i386
translate.o: In function `trace_tcg_instr__before':
/tmp/chenwj/qemu-dbi/trace/tcg-instr-internal.h:134: undefined reference to `trace_tcg_vbbl_before'

Seems some files or functions are missing? Also, do you consider
move your repo to github or other more reliable server?

Regards,
chenwj 

P.S. Attach is a minor patch which fix a typo (I guess).

How did you configure it?

After applying a small build patch, this works for me:

  cp ~/qemu-dbi/trace-events ~/
  sed -i -e "s/disable tcg vmem(/instrument tcg vmem(/g" trace-events
  mkdir -p ~/qemu-dbi-build
  cd ~/qemu-dbi-build
  ~/qemu-src/configure --with-trace-events=../trace-events --with-trace-instrument=dynamic --prefix=/tmp/qemu-install --enable-trace-backend=stderr --target-list="i386-softmmu"
  make
  make install

I've update the repo with the aforementioned patch.

I might do it in the future, but for now my todo is full enough with other
tasks :)

Right, I should proofread the docs.
