Full Ack. It's quite difficult, though, to predict what DTrace features one will get when installing Solaris 10 (whatever release). There is nothing about the fine details of DTrace in the Solaris 10 What's New documents. "printa() with multiple aggregations" is a nice feature which I have found missing in Solaris 10 5/08 :-(. Same for stddev() (which by the way isn't listed in http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/ChangeLog/ either, as it is kind of outdated, too). I found the guide on how to read DTrace source code instead of (unavailable) documentation most instructive (http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/DTrace_Topics_Internals#Undocumented_Functions). Unfortunately this approach doesn't work for identifying supported/unsupported features in Solaris, as the source code is not included (or am I wrong?). Is anyone of you aware of additional information on how to find out about DTrace features available in a given Solaris version (specifically U5 and the upcoming U6)?
