the idea we discussed is to introduce string map similar to stackmap where different strings are referenced by id. The helper would be able to push user or kernel strings into this map. That should solve https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/607 What is your use case that needs strings? To come up with good kernel design we need to categorize all use cases that need strings. _______________________________________________ iovisor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.iovisor.org/mailman/listinfo/iovisor-dev
