Intel(R) Processor Trace Decoder Library

========================================

The Intel Processor Trace (Intel PT) Decoder Library is Intel's reference

implementation for decoding Intel PT.  It can be used as a standalone library or

it can be partially or fully integrated into your tool.

The library comes with a set of sample tools built on top of it and a test

system built on top of the sample tools.  The samples demonstrate how to use the

library and may serve as a starting point for integrating the library into your

tool.

Dependencies

------------

We use cmake for building.

  cmake         The cross-platform open-source build system.

                http://www.cmake.org

Other packages you need for some of the above optional components.

  xed           The Intel x86 instruction encoder and decoder.

                https://github.com/intelxed/xed

                This is needed to build and run ptxed.

  yasm          The Yasm Modular Assembler

                http://github.com/yasm

                This is needed to run pttc.

  pandoc        A universal document converter

                http://pandoc.org

                This is needed for man pages.
