In an enlightening blog entry written in September 2006, DTrace Meets JavaScript, Brendan Gregg at Sun elaborates on Helper Monkey, a project that runs browser builds with User Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) probes and thus debugs dynamically.

Included are code examples to demonstrate how things work.DTrace is the Solaris 10 OS dynamic tracing capability that won The Wall Street Journal's top innovation award last fall. See my previous posting.
