isenabled probles broken on Mac OS X Lion

[Brendan Gregg]

G'Day,

The way isenabled probes are compiled on Mac OS X Lion has changed in a way
that dosen't compile (at least, with some compilers). Here's the test to
try:

$ cat -n liontest.d
1 provider lion {
2 probe hello(const char *world);
3 };
$ dtrace -h -s liontest.d -o liontest.h

On Snow Leopard this output:

$ cat -n liontest.h
[...]
24 #define LION_HELLO_ENABLED() \
25 __dtrace_isenabled$lion$hello$v1()

On Lion that is now:

$ can -n liontest.h
[...]
26 #define LION_HELLO_ENABLED() \
27 ({ int _r = __dtrace_isenabled$lion$hello$v1(); \
28 __asm__ volatile(""); \
29 _r; })

Which doesn't compile when used in if statements (the use case for
isenabled). Which means, some software that has DTrace probes is now not
compiling on Lion.

Another difference is the addition of:

#if !defined(DTRACE_PROBES_DISABLED) || !DTRACE_PROBES_DISABLED

but I don't think that is breaking anything.

I've attached both header files from the OS versions. Does Apple know of
this?

thanks,

Brendan

I'm not able to reproduce, what compiler are you using?

Oh, is this a gcc issue? Does xcode handle it ok?

I tried llvm-gcc and clang, both worked for me. It looks like invoking gcc "by name" gives you llvm-gcc on a default Xcode install.

I think everything we ship should work, are you building your own gcc?
