16:58 <jistone> fche, like this @sizeof ? http://paste.fedoraproject.org/378600/58370181/

16:58 <jistone> you can even pull kernel info in dyninst mode:

16:58 <jistone> $ ./run-stap -e 'probe oneshot { println(@sizeof("task_struct")) }' --dyn

16:58 <jistone> 11072

17:11 <fche> jistone, that was the one I was thinking of, but it's different from what ton31337 wanted

17:12 <fche> (based on a $context var, rather than its type name)

17:12 <jistone> ah

17:12 <fche> jistone, I'd appreciate pulling that macro into the tree anyway

17:13 <jistone> that's a bit tougher, because we might not even be able to take the address of an arbitrary variable

17:13 <fche> yeah, figure another @sizeof variant - like @defined - that's closer to the dwarf level

17:14 <jistone> hey there, PR18191

17:14 <fche> how'ya doin' buddy?

17:15 <jistone> do you really want that macro, if we may make it a language item in the future?

17:16 <fche> how about a @cast_sizeof for the former?

17:18 <jistone> ok

17:55 <fche> thanks dude

17:56 <fche> (sorry to toolshed, but consider s/module_sizeof/cast_module_sizeof/ ?)

17:56 <fche> but not a strong preference

18:04 <jistone> oh, sure, I just interpreted your "for the former" too narrowly
