Hi,
I tried: stap -e 'probe addevent.* {}' -bM -v
on ppc64/RHEL4u4/gcc-3.4.6, and got a lot of errors of "operand out of
range".
the generated c file is really big:
root:/tmp/stapRl4mJy> ll -h
total 7.5M
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128 Oct 9 17:53 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.3M Oct 9 17:53 stap_11644.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 714K Oct 9 17:53 stap-symbols.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 527K Oct 9 17:53 symbols.sorted
I searched gcc bugzilla, and found someone reported the same kind of
error on gcc 4.1:
