google-cloud-debugger - Class Google::Cloud::Debugger::Tracer (v0.42.2)
Reference documentation and code samples for the google-cloud-debugger class Google::Cloud::Debugger::Tracer.
Tracer
When active breakpoints are set for the debugger, the tracer monitors
the running Ruby application and triggers evaluation when the code is
executed at the breakpoint locations.
The tracer tracks the running application using several Ruby TracePoints
and C level Ruby debugging API.
