I've talked with the folks involved, I think this was just an accident. It does raise an interesting point, though. How does one deprecate an existing probe naming? I tried making a provider with stability level "Obsolete" for names, but I didn't get any warnings when using the resulting probes. Assuming we could get warnings for Obsolete names, how does one mark only portions of a provider as deprecated? I.E.: provider SomeProbesAreObsoleteButNotAll { probe entry(); // This needs to be deprecated probe sub-entry(); // This is the new name }; James M _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list dtrace-discuss@opensolaris.org
