Hi, Is there a specific reason the DTRACEHIOC_REMOVE ioctl is deprecated? I found I needed to use it in my Perl USDT provider code[*], which creates providers dynamically at runtime. I wonder if I'm missing a better way of doing the same thing.
The situation I'm handling with the remove operation is killing and recreating a perl interpreter in the same process, which Apache/mod_perl does on startup. Without the remove call, the probes created by the first interpreter are still around, but are unknown to the second interpreter - a subsequent ADDDOF for the same provider doesn't appear to update existing probes. Thanks, Chris. * - http://search.cpan.org/~chrisa/Devel-DTrace-Provider-0.02/lib/Devel/DTrace/Provider.pm _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list dtrace-discuss@opensolaris.org
