Bug #: 14311
Summary: always report alternatives & positions in probe point
error messages
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: translator
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: smakarov@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
When implementing alias suffixes, it was necessary to slightly simplify the
error reporting on probe mismatch. The following currently missing information
that might be more comprehensively reported in the future:
- The position number of the mismatched component within the probe is no longer
given. (it might not be necessary to add this back now, since the exact same
information is expressed by showing the source coordinates of the mismatch
error)
- In complex situations involving both alias suffixes, the full set of
available suffixes might not be reported when there is a mismatch error.
Collecting this information accurately probably requires a much more involved
error handling scheme than what is currently used.
