Upcoming features for #tracexec

#Exec backtrace and jump to parent

In next release, the #TUI will support gathering the exec #backtrace of any exec event, which will greatly simply debugging experience.

The exec backtrace shows the history of a specific event and indicates any ancestor spawns or directly tears itself down and becomes the new process.

Jump to parent is a lighter alternative to backtrace, where you just press `U` to jump to the parent exec evt.

tracexec 0.11.0 released with new timestamp feature and O_CLOEXEC file descriptors are now hidden by default.

Yes, you might find versions of getopt.c around the place that have an

if (argc < 1)

check. Not this one in the current source code for GCC, though:

Psst!

The buggy test program that blocked the EINVAL fix in Linux still has the bug today, two years later.

Amusingly, the subordinate program is a copy of the same program, and it starts by calling getopt_long_only(), one of whose earliest actions is:

optind = 1; /* Don't scan ARGV[0], the program name. */

followed closely by:

if (optind != argc && !strcmp (argv[optind], "--"))

argc is 0 at this point.
