13:00 <kefren> hi tappers. Is there a way to tap in order to find out information about the lifetime of instances of a certain class of c++ objects in a third party program ?

13:31 <drsmith> kefren: Hmm, I'm not sure. I'd bet you don't have debuginfo for this 3rd party program, right?

13:59 <kefren> drsmith: right. But I was wondering if there is any way to access functions parameters if I know their types (they're pointers).

14:00 <kefren> In that case I could hook into some helper functions that are in charge of some construction post-processing and respectively are triggering the deletion process

14:00 <drsmith> Hmm, I don't think so. We can for kernel functions ("kprobe.function"), but not for user functions as I recall.

14:00 <kefren> darn.

14:01 <drsmith> (note that this really isn't my area, but I believe I'm correct)

14:01 <drsmith> I'd go ahead and send an email to systemtap@sourceware.org and describe what you are trying to do, someone might have a great idea

14:02 <kefren> I'll do that. Thank you !

14:12 <drsmith> no problem
