Hello,

When trying to execute the following:

stap -v -e 'probe vfs.read {printf("read performed\n"); exit()}'

compilation fails:

Pass 1: parsed user script and 144 library script(s) using 91224virt/39148res/2120shr kb, in 290usr/20sys/316real ms.

Why __devnames's type cannot be resolved?

Thanks,
Daniel.
