Go
Hi everyone, How could you find the lines executed for a particular method call in any language (java, go..) using eBPF?
2 projects | /r/eBPF | 21 Feb 2023

Not sure that you could in any language. Need runtime reflection to have metadata about the original source code. Java and go both have runtime reflection, so it is possible for those languages and go’s auto-instrumentation implementation of OpenTelemetry uses eBPF for exactly that purpose.
