Linking and Embedding Call Tracing
Alex Gounares (alexgo), 12/15/93
------------------------------
NB: All call tracing added to the L&E layers of OLE *must*
conform to this spec; post processing tools may break otherwise.
Syntax of this grammar:
non-terminals are bracketed with underscores (e.g. _foo_)
Other tokens are literally or as described
General:
Call logging should be done via the LEDebugOut macro, which
takes the following parameters:
LEDebugOut(( _type_ , _formatstring_ , _arguments));
_type_ : DEB_TRACE
| DEB_ITRACE
;
DEB_TRACE should be used for any API or method *directly*
reachable by an OLE app.
DEB_ITRACE should be used for all internal APIs and
methods.
In some circumstances (an important internal function),
it is permissible to use DEB_TRACE for internal functions
and methods, but this is discouraged.
_arguments_ : whatever is needed by _formatstring_
There are three _formatstring_ formats currently supported,
one for function entrance, another for function exit, and
a third for object deletion. More formats may be added
as needed, so tools must be prepared to ignore
non-conforming strings (as it may be a new format for a new
tool).
_formatstring_ : _in_
| _out_
| _delete_
;
Function entrance: // _IN is literal
_in_ : "_this_ _IN _name_ _args_ _extra_ \n"
;
_this_ : %p
//should be passed the pointer
//to the *top* level object in
//the class (if the this pointer
//points to a nested class)
//If a function, then 0 should be
//passed.
;
_name_ : // the complete name of the function
// or method (i.e. CFoo::CBar::Blah)
_args_ : ( )
| ( _arglist_ )
;
_arglist_ : _arglist_ , _arg_
| _arg_
;
_arg_ : _string_
| _integral_
;
_string_ : \"%s\"
| \"%ws\"
;
_integral_ : any printf conversion string
other than strings (see NOTES)
_extra_ : an arbitrary number of bytes
with no newline character
Function exit:
_out_ : "_this_ OUT _name_ _return_ _outparams_ _extra_ \n"
;
_return_ : ( _arg_ )
;
_outparams_ : [ _arglist_ ] // used to put the
| // values of the
; // out parameters
Object Deletion:
_delete_ : "_this_ DELETED _extra_ \n"
;
NOTES:
1. The newline does not need to be preceeded by a space.
Other spaces in the grammar are intentional (the
space character is the token delimiter)
2. Tools should ignore any extra bytes after the known
fields to be compatible with future revs of the
logging.
3. In general, the following conversion codes are used
for the following data types. These are not binding,
however, individual functions/methods may do
something different as appropriate.
HRESULT %lx
pointer %p
DWORD %lu
DWORD(bitflags) %lx
ULONG %lu
LONG %ld
REFGUID %p
4. For in/out params, in may be awkward to print
the out value (since it may be a long piece of
memory). In this case, just printing the pointer
value (although the same as the argument) is
sufficient.
