Description Josh Stone 2010-03-20 07:54:26 UTC 
In the near future, we're going to start seeing other packages install files
into our tapset directory.  If there's a syntax error in one of those files, all
of stap grinds to a halt.  Our lives will be easier if we ignore such files,
perhaps with a warning that we're skipping it.

For example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575336
Comment 1 Josh Stone 2010-03-20 20:01:53 UTC 
We now print a warning like:

  WARNING: tapset '/path/to/foo.stp' has errors, and will be skipped.

If the user didn't give -W, stap will continue without the erroneous file.
