Terry,
Thanks for pointing out atos, which then led me to stackshot, which is
nifty. I'm wondering if there's some Apple doc which I've missed
that I
should have read to know about these two tools earlier?
Apple sends out developer newsletters with information on things like
stackshot; atos is ancient (google shows docs going back to 1998, at
least, so everyone is kind of just assumed to know about it, I
think). Generally, I hear about small tools and nifty new things at
WWDC, or by watching the WWDC presentations online after the fact, or
by doing what people are doing here, and asking questions. I'm pretty
sure stackshot came up in the last WWDC kernel debugging session.
There are also "Technical Q&A" and "Tech Notes" on <http://developer.apple.com
> that cover a range of topics, which is probably a good way to get
to know what you don't know, but could benefit from knowing.
When there is a new release, one of my tricks is that I tend to go
through /usr/bin and other likely places, and for anything I don't
recognize, I look for a man page or documentation on <http://developer.apple.com
>. If that fails, I fall back to google... there's actually some
really excellent third party developer blogs I tend to follow as well;
just look for ones that are updated semi-regularly and you'll probably
find them pretty easily.
PS: If you like stackshot, consider enabling spindump via launchctl;
it does the same thing as CrashDump for when you get the SPOD cursor.
