You don't need those traces!

Josh looked at disassembling ruby recently.

It outputs code like:

0000 trace            1                                               (   1)
0002 putobject_OP_INT2FIX_O_1_C_
0003 dup
0004 setlocal_OP__WC__0 2
0006 leave

The first instruction trace tells ruby to emit a trace event (trace system detailed here).

The trace instructions may not be useful when examining disassembled code and as such you can compile the code without the trace instructions.

RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile_option = {
  trace_instruction: false
}
