Failed compilation on Fedora 16 64-bit - dtrace-20120311

Hi,

Just wanted to report a compilation failure on the latest Fedora 16 using the latest dtrace4linux/linux release.

An earlier version of dtrace4linux/linux could be compiled on January's version of Fedora 16 (if I remember correctly; it was a 2.6.x kernel; instead of 3.x).

[leow@belinda dtrace-20120311]$ uname -a
Linux belinda 3.3.1-2.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 3 00:46:10 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

release=dtrace-20120311
build=379

Full log details at:

Let me know if more details needed or if any action needed from my end. Thanks!

Cheers!

Looks like they messed with the vfs mount structures. I've taken a look and its not immediately obvious what they did. Easiest temp solution is to comment out the code in create_buf_t. Its only called when accessing structures by name via CTF D scripts. I'll look to update this .. probably in a few weeks when Ubuntu 12.04 is released, or maybe sooner if I grab fedora-16.

thanks for highlighting this issue.

Works like a charm for the latest release. Thanks Paul!
