Hi, If the binary being traced has static symbols in its symbol table, DTrace should be able to trace the function. Can you describe the example where you found this difference in FreeBSD and OSX? rgds Prashanth -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 7/3/14, Daniel O'Connor <doconnor@gsoft.com.au> wrote: Subject: dtracing static symbols To: freebsd-dtrace@freebsd.org Date: Friday, 7 March, 2014, 11:19 AM Hi, I have been experimenting with DTrace on 9.2 and I was wondering if there was some way to trace static symbols in binaries? I did some testing on OSX and apparently Solaris can also do it but not [yet?] FreeBSD. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck finding the code which does it in Solaris (so I can't check if it's in a later version of FreeBSD).
