I would love to have that funtionality. How do you plan to make available complex data structures (i.e., suppose I want inode->i_ino printed out)? I assume this will require writing some "easy to generate" glue code that would presumably be some kind of kernel module? That doesn't bother me (after all that's what SystemTap does), as long as generation of the glue code can be largely automated ---- so that you can take something approximately like a DTrace or SystemTap script, and with some perl or python helper, translate it into glue code that gets compiled into a kernel module. Is something like that what you have in mind? - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
