/*
Package native is a collection of tracers written in go.

In order to add a native tracer and have it compiled into the binary, a new
file needs to be added to this folder, containing an implementation of the
`eth.tracers.Tracer` interface.

Aside from implementing the tracer, it also needs to register itself, using the
`register` method -- and this needs to be done in the package initialization.

Example:

```golang
func init() {
	register("noopTracerNative", newNoopTracer)
}
```
*/
package native

import (
	"errors"

	"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/eth/tracers"
)

// init registers itself this packages as a lookup for tracers.
func init() {
	tracers.RegisterLookup(false, lookup)
}

/*
ctors is a map of package-local tracer constructors.

We cannot be certain about the order of init-functions within a package,
The go spec (https://golang.org/ref/spec#Package_initialization) says

> To ensure reproducible initialization behavior, build systems
> are encouraged to present multiple files belonging to the same
> package in lexical file name order to a compiler.

Hence, we cannot make the map in init, but must make it upon first use.
