# Tests:
# 1) Calculate the size taken by one trace frame.
# 2) Set up a trace experiment that will collect approximately 10 frames,
#    requiring more than 512 but less than 1024 bytes of cache buffer.
#    (most targets should have at least 1024 bytes of cache buffer!)
#    Run and confirm that it collects all 10 frames.
# 3) Artificially limit the trace buffer to 4x + a bytes.  Here x is the size
#    of single trace frame and a is a small constant.  Rerun the
#    experiment.  Confirm that the frame for the first tracepoint is collected,
#    but frames for the last several tracepoints are not.
# 4) Set trace buffer to circular mode, with the buffer size as in
#    step 3 above.  Rerun the experiment.  Confirm that the frame for the last
#    tracepoint is collected but not for the first one.
#
