Subject: [Bug translator/10917] New: environment variable expansion in executable search
Date: Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:07:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091108020716.10917.foom@fuhm.net> (raw)

I'd like to be able to do:
probe process("$INSTALL/lib/libMyStuff.so").function("hello") {}

That is: in addition to doing $PATH finding for the process probe, I'd like it to first expand environment 
variables from the user (the one running stap)'s environment.

At first thought, I'd have $$ to escape a $, and also support "${ENVVARNAME}".

If you think this is a good idea, I should be able to come up with a patch to implement it.
