Firstly, I apologize for my English (I'm doing my best).
I perfectly agree with some of you: this article is a slashvertisment! The main reason for that is that I previously tried to submit something more descriptive, but it was rejected. That's why I tried again with a slightly different style.
This tool (PTT) inserts trace points into the NPTL to help you to analyze multithreaded applications behaviour. He's not designed for beginners, but for people facing complex multithreaded issues. I also agree with some of you: you can use Java or some others high level languages for programming. But some applications require performance and have to be written in C. That's why PTT can be useful for some developers.
PTT has been presented at the Ottawa Linux Symposium last summer. You can find the paper here (NPTL Stabilization Project, page 111).
