Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2012-04-04 16:22:26 EDT 
If using fast tracepoints but the program was not compiled with GDB's in-process agent library, starting a trace experiment will be rejected.

-trace-start
407,852 [MI]  56^error,msg="Target returns error code '.In-process agent library not loaded in process.  Fast and static tracepoints unavailable.'."

Such errors should be reported to the user.  Currently, we silently ignore the result, and the user must realize that tracing was not started by looking at the Trace Control view.
