[Bug runtime/4904] hard to use statement probes for line-by-line tracing


------- Additional Comments From srinivasa at in dot ibm dot com  2008-01-21 14:27 -------
Created an attachment (id=2207)
 --> (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=2207&action=view)
patch to solve the problem.

Frank 
 If user probes the kernel with below style,
	 1) probe kernel.statement("*@kernel/sched.c:1151") {
	 2) probe kernel.function("*@kernel/sched.c:1151")  {

there is chance the probe being at appropriate place( line number different
than the user specified) and user is not informed about it. Thats one of the
causes for the above problem. 

So above patch informs the user about new line number, in which it has put the
probe.

Please let me know your comments

Thanks
 Srinivasa DS
