From the 300+ New Features list for OS X Leopard:

> have also been extended to support DTrace, providing unprecedented
> access for monitoring the performance characteristics of those

> Scripting Bridge
> Use Objective-C, Ruby, and Python programs to automate Mac

Yep, and we will see how well it's done, soon enough.
The big issue I'm concerned about is update/upgrade-ability.
They did have a lot of close consultation with the Rails Core team,
so it should be good, but we'll see...

I hear that gem updates work fine. In addition to rails gems, it comes
bundled with just about every gem you might need right out of the box.
I guess I'll be waiting to pick up a box to see the final list.

What I really want to know is what sort of D-Trace support is there.
Is it just C and OS probes or have they put something together like

Let's try this again (as posting on groups.google.com appeared to
break - so sorry if this has appeared more than once).

Apple have included no ustack helper in Ruby which comes with OSX - so
you have to compile your own.

I have produced a patch for Ruby on OSX and e-mailed the details to
scott at joyent. I hope he's the right person.

It seems that Apple have broken the ability to use the -G parameter on
dtrace. Meaning you can't compile d scripts into linkable objects.
This breaks the patch by the joyent guys. Hence me working out a
solution for it.

I now have it all fully working. If Scott's not the right person - who
should I send it to?

Feel free to report any OSX-related problems at http://bugreporter...

You can attach files (patches) there.

Thanks,
