Run SPEC CPU 2017 benchmarks (a subset or the full suite) under a Pin tool, safely in parallel — the driver enforces per-worker RAM and per-invocation timeouts, records per-benchmark deadspy/redspy/loadspy totals, and works across any workload class (test / train / refspeed / refrate). Use when you want a full-suite characterization under cctlib.
Debug a crashing or misbehaving Pintool (deadspy/redspy/loadspy or any cctlib client) via Pin's `-pause_tool` handoff and gdb attach. Use when the tool exits with `Tool (or Pin) caused signal ...`, a raw SIGSEGV, or wrong analysis results. Not for debugging the *application* being instrumented — for that, use Pin's `-appdebug` or a normal gdb session on the app.
