If I know ahead of time how many elements I need I should be able to declare an array of that size. Right now if I need a mix of small and large arrays, I must make sure MAXMAPENTRIES can accomodate the largest size needed, forcing all arrays to be that size. I realize this has been considered and may be difficult to implement. I still think it's important to fix. I ended up implementing some arrays in embedded C in the socket tapset for this very reason (trying to keep the size down), not a practice we want to encourage for script writers. -- Summary: Support array size declarations Product: systemtap Version: unspecified Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: translator AssignedTo: systemtap at sources dot redhat dot com ReportedBy: mmlnx at us dot ibm dot com http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3671 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
