For the record, systemtap includes a backend that uses dyninst as a
pure userspace backend.
% cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
int foo() {
printf("foo\n");
return 1;
}
int main() {
foo();
}
% gcc -g foo.c
% stap --runtime=dyninst -e '
probe process.function("*").{call,return} { println(pp()) }
' -c a.out
foo
process("/home/fche/a.out").function("main@/home/fche/foo.c:8").call
process("/home/fche/a.out").function("foo@/home/fche/foo.c:3").call
process("/home/fche/a.out").function("foo@/home/fche/foo.c:3").return
process("/home/fche/a.out").function("main@/home/fche/foo.c:8").return
