Still `dtrace -m php\* -l` does show all the probes.
Indeed, I can reproduce this. Peering at the zend source code, it seems that there's a difference in how the dtrace_execute_ex hook gets installed: with 5.6, it's unconditional so long as zend is compiled with HAVE_DTRACE. In 7.2, the php process needs to have USE_ZEND_DTRACE=1 set in its environment for the dtrace function execution hook to be installed. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-dtrace To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
