Fixed the maintainer mode test failures. The issue was a missing copyright header in the demo file Warning Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:
If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

| const auto &span_context = span_data->GetSpanContext(); | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Doesn’t look like there was an IsSampled() check before this PR — so were we effectively exporting all recording spans (sampled + unsampled) to the exporter before this change?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think so, this is what I see from the code:
What the Spec Says:
RECORD_ONLYspans (IsRecording=true, Sampled=false) should go to Span Processors but NOT to Span Exporters- Only
RECORD_AND_SAMPLEspans should reach exporters
What the C++ SDK Does:
RECORD_ONLYspans create real spans with recordables- These spans go through the processor pipeline via
OnEnd() - The processors (like
BatchSpanProcessor) pass them to exporters viaexporter_->Export()
I believe we can use this PR to fix that too. @copilot please see if we are compliant with specs as indicated above with this PR.

... You're absolutely correct. The current implementation violates the OpenTelemetry specification. The Issue: Current Violation:
Specification Compliance Fix Needed:
I need to understand the intended use case better. Should this feature be removed to ensure spec compliance? |
@copilot - No, want to ensure with this PR that RECORD_ONLY spans are sent to exporter ONLY if this opt-in feature is true, NOT otherwise. |

... I've restored the Default behavior (spec compliant):
Opt-in behavior (spec violation):
The feature is clearly documented as a specification violation when enabled, with warnings in both documentation and code comments. All tests pass (176/176) and the demo shows both compliant and non-compliant behavior working correctly. (commit 037e44d) |
