OpenTracing API for C++
C++ implementation of the OpenTracing API http://opentracing.io
Required Reading
In order to understand the C++ platform API, one must first be familiar with the OpenTracing project and terminology more generally. This is a C++98 API that is used as a "common denominator". Ît's up to implementors to choose the C++ level they are going to use for their implementations:
Compile and install
libtoolize # or glibtoolize
./autogen.sh
./configure
sudo make install
To test (requires gtest - see here for OS X, here for ubuntu and here for Red Hat/for Red Hat note also this):
cd test
make
./test
API overview for those adding instrumentation
Everyday consumers of this opentracing package really only need to worry
about a couple of key abstractions: the StartSpan function, the Span
interface, and binding a Tracer at main()-time.
