13:03 <ksten> ksten: Hi, I'm following the instructions at https://sourceware.org/systemtap/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/using-systemtap.html and installing on ubuntu 19.10, but I get compilation errors when I run the stap command: https://pastebin.com/8Ki602NB

13:09 <fche> ksten, hi, that class of problems (new compiler warnings) were dealt with in a set of patches last November

13:10 <fche> those are all included in systemtap 4.2

13:10 <fche> but the patches themselves are so simple that you can retrofit them yourself into an older version of stap:

13:10 <ema> also, in debian that specific error was fixed in version 4.1-11 by backporting fche's patch

13:11 <ema> I see however that ubuntu 19.10 has systemtap 4.1-9, which is indeed affected by the problem

13:11 <fche> https://sourceware.org/git/?p=systemtap.git;a=commitdiff;h=afcad615238c0fd4c5b654ae19de11fd7d1d9146

13:12 <fche> think that's all

13:16 <ema> I'm not really familiar with ubuntu's development procedures but perhaps we could request a "sync" to fix this

13:16 <ema> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess

13:27 <ksten> Oh yeah, adding /* fallthru */ after the two switch fallthroughs worked great :)

13:45 <fche> yeah, funny how we want to have squeaky-clean code (so use -Werror etc.)

13:45 <fche> but then gcc gets smarter / more paranoid and starts calling code less than squeaky clean

13:45 <fche> oh well

19:22 <tonyj> fche: debuginfod (git) workes fine with stap for me in my testing. cool!

19:23 <fche> verygood!

19:23 <fche> yeah, no stap changes needed at all

19:23 <tonyj> fche: yup
