<p>If a tracer is specified in both lists, the tracer in the
enable list takes precedence. If no tracer is specified, the same
- tracer as the process executing the match specification is used.</p>
+ tracer as the process executing the match specification is used (not the meta tracer).
+ If that process doesn't have tracer either, then trace flags are ignored.</p>
<p>When using a <seealso marker="erl_tracer">tracer module</seealso>,
the module must be loaded before the match specification is
executed. If it is not loaded, the match fails.</p>
