#46 Software Tracing with Binary Protocols
This lesson explains modern software tracing based on binary protocols instead of ASCII formatting with printf. To focus the discussion, you will see a mature software tracing system called QP-Spy, which is much more suitable for real-time systems than the primitive printf method.
