It is possible to do strace-like stuff on Windows too as evidenced by Process Monitor. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.asp...

If scanning atimes is too slow or unreliable, perhaps fabricate could be updated to use procmon?

Here's a version of strace for Windows: http://www.intellectualheaven.com/default.asp?BH=projects...

I've hacked it to print the actual file names on CreateFile() calls, but it's failing because it doesn't recurse and trace sub-processes. It should be theoretically possible by hooking CreateProcess(), but it's probably hard.
