            Bug ID: 18578
           Summary: autocast function parameters
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2

  Target Milestone: ---

>From PR13664:

* If a dwarf-typed variable is passed as a function parameter, treat it like
template/generic programming and create a separate instance of that function.
- Functions with explicit typing like :long and :string could use :dwarf for
this special behavior.  Embedded-C functions shouldn't be allowed to use :dwarf
though.  (You're writing C, so cast it yourself, guru.)
- This function-forking will probably duplicate a lot, but we already have
mechanisms to recombine dupes in pass-3.
