Bug #: 14313
Summary: rewrite alias example in langref.tex
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: documentation
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: smakarov@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
The current explanation of probe aliases in langref uses an example where we
duplicate the definition of the syscall.read alias. This has the potential to
get confusing once we get into discussion of alias suffixes using the same
example -- specifically, the tapsets also define syscall.read.return as an
alias, but the language guide doesn't mention that. Hence it is currently
possible for the first-time reader to wind up incorrectly assuming that, in
actual code using the probe point syscall.read.return, return would be passed
through as an alias suffix.
