--- Begin Message ---Package: systemtap-sdt-dev Version: 2.3-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I've been working on GDB packaging, and upstream has been telling me that if we built our libgcc and libc with the STAP probes enabled, it would make some things work better; in particular: * There are probes in libgcc and libc that allow GDB to follow C++ exceptions and longjmp (respectively) even without the respective debug symbols. (See <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00360.html>. * There are more probes in libc (well, ld.so) that would keep gdb better (and more efficiently) informed about library load/unload events. (See <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-05/msg00624.html>.) (I believe all of the STAP probes for this are now upstream.) Until now, I've been reluctant to suggest this because systemtap-sdt-dev wasn't available on all arches, so it would be necessary to add it as a build-dependency for only some arches, which would involve hard-coding the list of arches systemtap builds on in the control files for those packages. (This also prevents use on kfreebsd, hurd, or any arch that might be supported in GDB before it is supported in systemtap.) However, I've just learned that sdt.h contains very little arch-specific code and, in particular, that it doesn't need to specifically mention each supported arch, nor is it a different file on each arch. It doesn't look like sdt-config.h is arch-dependent, either: the only thing in there is about whether the assembler supports a certain feature, which it does, and presumably will continue to do for quite some time. So, please make this package "Arch: all" so I can propose that the STAP probes in libgcc and libc be enabled on all arches. Sergio Durigan Junior <[email protected]> (who implemented the first bullet above upstream in GDB) has graciously offered his assistance in making this work for us. (Of course, this would also be useful for any other package which would like to provide STAP probes without compromising portability.) Note to Sergio: "Arch: all" makes a single build of a binary package available for all architectures, and can thus only be used when that binary package doesn't contain anything that would need to be different on each arch, or which would need to be built on each arch. It would also be possible to use "Arch: any" to build "systemtap-sdt-dev" on every single arch, but then we'd have to make the "systemtap" source package build on all arches, and explicitly restrict the other binary packages it produces to the supported architectures, but it would mean (a) repeating that list of arches several times in debian/control and (b) conditionalizing the bulk of the package build on whether the arch was on the list or not, both of which would seem to be rather a pain. (On the other hand, it would make arches more self-contained.) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages systemtap-sdt-dev depends on: ii python 2.7.5-5 systemtap-sdt-dev recommends no packages. systemtap-sdt-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Hi!
