             Bug #: 14924
           Summary: warn on complex $ptr->foo expressions in .return
                    probes
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: fche@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Some users are confused by stap's automatic function-call entry-time
snapshotting of $foo->bar->baz expressions in .return probes.  While it's
probably not a good idea to change the behavior (maybe not even with
--compatible), we could emit a warning, referencing @entry() (see also bug
#14437).
