What kind of support do you mean? io_uring is asynchronous in nature with all intrinsic tracing/debugging/etc. problems of such APIs. And there are a lot of handy trace points, are those not enough? Though, this can be an interesting project to rethink how async APIs are worked with. > > I think that's quite important as io_uring becomes mainstream. -- Pavel Begunkov
