libipt - an 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.
