if its a singleton the constructor should be private and only Get should do it.
using the singleton pattern makes this work.

Done.

you need a private virtual destructor, even if its got an empty implemetnation.
private so you cant delete it except from the implementation

[etienneb, 2014/02/20 19:08:03]

Done.

+  // Request the ETW trace controller to activate the kernel tracing.
+  // returns true on success, false if the kernel tracing isn't activated.
+  bool StartKernelSessionTracing();
+
+  // Request the ETW trace controller to deactivate the kernel tracing.
+  // returns true on success, false if an error occurred.
+  bool StopKernelSessionTracing();
+
+  // Send a request to the ETWConsumerThread to consume the kernel events.
+  void RequestStartTraceConsuming();

my request to keep this internal to the file remains. it may make sense to you
but its hard to understand as a user of the code. you should have basically

    bool Start() --- if it doesn't start, then the systracE_state accordingly

    BeginToStop(callback&) --- stops the tracing, waits for it to drain, kills
the thread, stops the callback

Thats all there should be.

[etienneb, 2014/02/20 19:08:03]

Done.

+
+  // Send a request to the ETWConsumerThread to stop consuming the kernel
+  // events.
+  // @param callback the callback to call with the consuming result.
+  void RequestStopTraceConsuming(const OutputCallback& callback);
+
+  // Retrieve the ETW consumer instance.

[nduca, 2014/02/20 07:04:54]

forgive me if i asked this once but can't we use the standard singleton pattern?
see base/debug/trace_event_impl.h's TraceLog for instance?

[etienneb, 2014/02/20 19:08:03]

Done.
