Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2011-07-12 21:11:56 UTC 
As an alternative to .statement probes, a user might want
to have systemtap match the debuginfo source code against
a piece of given source code.

Alternatively, could be similar to perf-probe's pattern matching, as in

probe FOO.statement("*@file.c:100-200").source("a = b.*;")
