What does this PR do?
DD_TRACE_AWS_ADD_SPAN_POINTERS
to toggle span pointersspan.addSpanPointers
with try/catch, sincespan
is of type any.Note that moving the location of the span pointer has no actual effect on the functionality and requires no changes on the UI side. As long as a span is found with a matching hash, span pointers work. Since the spans are on the same trace, this has no noticeable change for our users. This change just aligns span pointers with bottlecap (universally instrumented) runtimes.
Motivation
Testing Guidelines
Manual testing. The span links are now on the root (inferred) span.
