To make sure nothing comes, we have to modify all cases which use the

are working well.

If my probe-final-"EOF" idea works, then we can implement that entirely
in stap_run, without modifying any testcases.


Eh, if it works, I think the "{5}" won't be needed.
But I doubt whether it will introduce errors to some cases.
I will think more about it.


It works, but also has some side effects.
It is better not to affect the cases which are working well, I think.

What are those side effects?


It will lead to some cases error.
For example:
In case "div0", the probe will be exit with error.
So the expected "EOF" will never be got.

Another example:
In case "proc_by_pid", if "EOF" is added, another "\r\n" will be needed
in the output_string.

And there are a lot of such problems.
I don't think probe-final-"EOF" is needed, for it won't help much, though
each error it introduces can be fixed easily.
