[tracecompass-dev] How to: Numeric relational operators in filters

[David Crayford <dcrayford@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been evaluating trace compass for analyzing traces from a 
transactional system. I was impressed with how easy it was to setup 
without writing any code for the text parser etc. Next step is to 
knock-up a State Provider, which looks simple enough using XML.

One thing that looks like it may be an issue for us it that filters only 
seem to work with text data. Our trace data includes several times 
(suspend, elapsed, CPU) etc in the format sss.ssssss. We would like to 
be able to create a filter to only include transactions
that our exceptional by using a numeric relational operator like ELAPSED 
> 4.00000. Is this at all possible in the current framework? If not 
then is it a lot of work to modify the filter code to support 
greater_than, less_than and other relational operators?
