Bug ID: 27819
Summary: The current string literal limit for the bpf mode is
too conservative
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: bpf
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: agentzh at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Seems like the current string literal limit is very easy to exceed:
```
$ /opt/stap/bin/stap --bpf -e 'probe oneshot { error("you cannot specify option
A and option B at the same time! Try something else.") }'
semantic error: string literal too long: string 'you cannot specify option A
and option B at the same time! Try something else.' at <input>:1:23
source: probe oneshot { error( ... you cannot specify option A and
option B at the same time! Try something else. ... "you cannot specify option A
and option B at the same time! Try something else.") }
^
Pass 4: compilation failed. [man error::pass4]
```
For comparison, the same oneliner works with the kernel runtime:
```
$ /opt/stap/bin/stap -e 'probe oneshot { error("you cannot specify option A and
option B at the same time! Try something else.") }'
ERROR: you cannot specify option A and option B at the same time! Try something
else.
WARNING: Number of errors: 1, skipped probes: 0
WARNING: /opt/stap/bin/staprun exited with status: 1
Pass 5: run failed. [man error::pass5]
```
More information:
```
$ /opt/stap/bin/stap -V
