******************************************************************************
**
** This file contains code implements a VFS shim that writes diagnostic
** output for each VFS call, similar to "strace".
**
** USAGE:
**
** This source file exports a single symbol which is the name of a
** function:
**
**   int vfstrace_register(
**     const char *zTraceName,         // Name of the newly constructed VFS
**     const char *zOldVfsName,        // Name of the underlying VFS
**     int (*xOut)(const char*,void*), // Output routine.  ex: fputs
**     void *pOutArg,                  // 2nd argument to xOut.  ex: stderr
**     int makeDefault                 // Make the new VFS the default
**   );
**
** Applications that want to trace their VFS usage must provide a callback
** function with this prototype:
**
**   int traceOutput(const char *zMessage, void *pAppData);
**
** This function will "output" the trace messages, where "output" can
** mean different things to different applications.  The traceOutput function
** for the command-line shell (see shell.c) is "fputs" from the standard
** library, which means that all trace output is written on the stream
** specified by the second argument.  In the case of the command-line shell
** the second argument is stderr.  Other applications might choose to output
** trace information to a file, over a socket, or write it into a buffer.
**
** The vfstrace_register() function creates a new "shim" VFS named by
** the zTraceName parameter.  A "shim" VFS is an SQLite backend that does
** not really perform the duties of a true backend, but simply filters or
** interprets VFS calls before passing them off to another VFS which does
** the actual work.  In this case the other VFS - the one that does the
** real work - is identified by the second parameter, zOldVfsName.  If
** the the 2nd parameter is NULL then the default VFS is used.  The common
** case is for the 2nd parameter to be NULL.
**
** The third and fourth parameters are the pointer to the output function
** and the second argument to the output function.  For the SQLite
** command-line shell, when the -vfstrace option is used, these parameters
** are fputs and stderr, respectively.
**
** The fifth argument is true (non-zero) to cause the newly created VFS
** to become the default VFS.  The common case is for the fifth parameter
** to be true.
**
** The call to vfstrace_register() simply creates the shim VFS that does
** tracing.  The application must also arrange to use the new VFS for
** all database connections that are created and for which tracing is 
** desired.  This can be done by specifying the trace VFS using URI filename
** notation, or by specifying the trace VFS as the 4th parameter to
** sqlite3_open_v2() or by making the trace VFS be the default (by setting
** the 5th parameter of vfstrace_register() to 1).
**
**
** ENABLING VFSTRACE IN A COMMAND-LINE SHELL
**
** The SQLite command line shell implemented by the shell.c source file
** can be used with this module.  To compile in -vfstrace support, first
** gather this file (test_vfstrace.c), the shell source file (shell.c),
** and the SQLite amalgamation source files (sqlite3.c, sqlite3.h) into
** the working directory.  Then compile using a command like the following:
**
**    gcc -o sqlite3 -Os -I. -DSQLITE_ENABLE_VFSTRACE \
**        -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_RTREE \
**        -DHAVE_READLINE -DHAVE_USLEEP=1 \
**        shell.c test_vfstrace.c sqlite3.c -ldl -lreadline -lncurses
**
** The gcc command above works on Linux and provides (in addition to the
** -vfstrace option) support for FTS3 and FTS4, RTREE, and command-line
** editing using the readline library.  The command-line shell does not
** use threads so we added -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0 just to make the code
** run a little faster.   For compiling on a Mac, you'll probably need
** to omit the -DHAVE_READLINE, the -lreadline, and the -lncurses options.
** The compilation could be simplified to just this:
**
**    gcc -DSQLITE_ENABLE_VFSTRACE \
**         shell.c test_vfstrace.c sqlite3.c -ldl -lpthread
**
** In this second example, all unnecessary options have been removed
** Note that since the code is now threadsafe, we had to add the -lpthread
** option to pull in the pthreads library.
**
** To cross-compile for windows using MinGW, a command like this might
** work:
**
**    /opt/mingw/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-gcc -o sqlite3.exe -Os -I \
**         -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_VFSTRACE \
**         shell.c test_vfstrace.c sqlite3.c
**
** Similar compiler commands will work on different systems.  The key
** invariants are (1) you must have -DSQLITE_ENABLE_VFSTRACE so that
** the shell.c source file will know to include the -vfstrace command-line
** option and (2) you must compile and link the three source files
** shell,c, test_vfstrace.c, and sqlite3.c.
