  Description     : An improved version of strace that collects stack traces

strace+ is an improved version of strace that collects stack traces
associated with each system call. Since system calls require an
expensive user-kernel context switch, they are often sources of
performance bottlenecks. strace+ allows programmers to do more
detailed system call profiling and determine, say, which call sites
led to costly syscalls and thus have potential for optimization. It
also enabled developers to find out from where specific system calls
were performed, as this may not be very easy to find out when using
many libraries.
