16:54 <fche> agentzh, by the way

16:54 <fche> some good timely test on an internal platform/os combination indicate the benefits from y'all's print* etc. cleanups are making a difference

16:54 <fche> and

16:55 <fche> to take full advantage, we might want to spin up a stap 4.5 release RSN and switch to that

18:00 <kerneltoast> making a difference how

18:02 <kerneltoast> fche, btw i've had to use urban dictionary a lot lately thanks to you

18:03 <kerneltoast> initialisms are hard

18:04 <fche> my pleasure

18:04 <fche> making a difference = having some tracepoint/printing-intensive tests pass vs. hang

18:14 <kerneltoast> they hung before and y'all didn't fix it?

18:14 <kerneltoast> seemz odd

18:14 <fche> now now

18:14 <fche> some problems show up on oddball kernels etc.

18:15 <kerneltoast> every rhel kernel is an oddball

18:15 <kerneltoast> change my mind

18:16 <kerneltoast> so i guess we gotta resolve the backtrace printing dilemma and then you'll cut a release?

18:25 <fche> well maybe, not sure the backtrace thing is a showstopper

18:38 <kerneltoast> it should be a quick fix though, if we do it my hacky style

19:02 <kerneltoast> fche, idk how to go about updating docs though; apparently docs are generated from source according to agentzh?

19:03 <kerneltoast> i think it would be good to have this change before cutting a new release to maintain the current backtrace behavior

19:03 <kerneltoast> since the current stap release still chops off the last byte

19:06 <fche> tapset function man pages are generated from comments in the .stp file

19:08 <kerneltoast> ah

19:08 <kerneltoast> so if i amended my reverted patch to chop off any trailing whitespace and then updated the .stp comment, we'd be good?

19:10 <fche> if it's an .stp side comment, I'd prefer the whitespace trimming be done at the .stp side / site rather than in the runtime

19:37 <kerneltoast> idk how to do that

19:37 <kerneltoast> .stp is a foreign language

19:37 <kerneltoast> i heard it's just for AIs to auto generate

20:33 <kerneltoast> fche, could you take care of that?

20:33 <kerneltoast> since you've got the strongest opinions about this and it's a small change :}
