Adam,

again our views are different. Must be our heritage ;^)

Why was this header file creation invented given that the manual, in the 
chapter of statically defined probes for applications, only mentions the 
macro's DTRACE_PROBExxx?

I have the impression that the "misunderstanding" starts with allowing the 
hyphen in probe names: are there any other programming or scripting languages 
that allow a math symbol in a variable name? But ala that decision has been 
made.

"It would be tricky to..." is your final remark. Could you elaborate a little 
here, since the core part of the code is working as Trond also pointed out. It 
is just the "religions" "One underscore looks better in macros" vs "Do not 
translate in an irreversable way"  
My first hunch would be the following:

by default stick to the current behaviour. I that irreversable way is not 
wanted use an option (yet another one) with dtrace  that "just" translates the 
macro names keeping double underscores in place.

Am I missing something?

Thanks
Paul
