Patch: Adding tapset and example to make use of perl probe points

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch adds a systemtap tapset and example to be installed with 
perl-devel.  The benefit of this is being able to make use of the 
recently enabled probe points.  You are able to probe subroutine 
call/return, the file the subroutine was defined in, and line number.

These new files are only installed if the user has the perl-devel
installed.  Regular perl-5.12.3 users will not be effected by this change.

This patch was tested on Fedora 14 i386 and x86_64 as well as Fedora
Rawhide i386 and x86_64.  No regressions were found.  The changes were
tested by first upgrading perl-5.12.3-148 to perl-5.12.3-149 and
checking that no new files were installed.  Once this had been ensured,
perl-devel-5.12.3-149 was installed, first checking that the files had
been placed in their correct locations, and subsequently that the tapset
and example both worked as expected.
