Port to non-Linux platforms?
petterreinholdtsen opened this issue · comments
At the moment coz fail to build on non-Linux platforms like kfreebsd and hurd in Debian, because it uses the API provided in <linux/perf_event.h>. Are there any plans to port coz to non-linux platforms?
Ah, forgot to link to the Debian bug about this, https://bugs.debian.org/844024 . See also the autobuilder
status on https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=coz-profiler&suite=unstable .
This would be a major undertaking, as interacting with performance counters is tightly integrated with coz's functionality. I'm unfamiliar with kfreebsd and hurd's performance counter interfaces, so this is probably something someone else would need to take care of.

OK. We will limit the Debian package to linux architectures for now,
then. :)
Happy hacking
