             Bug #: 14184
           Summary: improve semantic error / unresolved messages
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: fche@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Many kinds of different error conditions can result in single-line 'semantic
error: unresolved probe point...' type messages, which don't help people fix
the problem.  We should teach the translator how to attach explanatory messages
to the exceptions, to give people a hint.  Things like "cannot find kernel
module debuginfo for build-id XXXX"; "process("FOO") file not found FOO",
syscallll.foobar probably misspelling of syscall.foobar, etc.
