Yesterday I started wondering if this patch series could go in if
re-expressed as catchpoints.
That is, instead of:
break probe:arg
we would use:
catch probe arg
The drawback here is that the linespec approach works automatically with
tracepoints. We could fix this via a new argument to 'strace', say '-p'
(for "probe").
This approach would circumvent the need for the pre_expanded sals patch.
