在运行stap的时候,经常会发现在脚本结束运行的时候打出了很多无预期的东西,仔细一看都是些全局变量的dump, 这个问题比较烦人.
我来演示下:
$ cat > g.stp
global xyz
probe begin{
xyz=2010
exit();
}
CTRL+D
$ sudo stap g.stp
xyz=0x7da
#多余的显示,其实我们只想静悄悄的结束查看了代码和文档发现:
A global declaration may be written at the outermost level anywhere, not
within a block of code. Global variables which are written but never read will be displayed automatically at session shutdown. The translator
will infer for each its value type, and if it is used as an array, its key types. Optionally, scalar globals may be initialized with a string or
number literal. The following declaration marks variables as global.
原来只写不读的通通要打印提醒你, 知道了原因就好办了.
加多个delete把全局变量清空,就没啥好显示了:
$ diff -up g1.stp g.stp
--- g1.stp 2011-03-25 13:14:37.940594540 +0800
+++ g.stp 2011-03-25 13:12:59.470450112 +0800
