Issue #14582 has been updated by jacobcarlborg (Jacob Carlborg). I've created a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/16084. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14582: Unable to use `method__entry` and `method_return` tracing probes since 2.5 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14582#change-116552 * Author: guilhermereiscampos (Guilherme Reis Campos) * Status: Open * ruby -v: 2.5 * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi, I am trying to use dtrace/systemtap probes and not being able to use it after the 2.5. The 2.4 version works fine. I was hoping this was fixed on 2.6-preview, but apparently not (just downloaded dev and tested). I tried on OSX using dtrace and also on ubuntu (vagrant). ``` # test.rb class Foo def bar 100.times { "Bar" } end end foo = Foo.new foo.bar # test.stp probe process("/home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/bin/ruby").mark("method__entry") # you will need to change this to your ruby path of your version. { printf("%s => %s.%s in %s:%d\n", thread_indent(1), kernel_string($arg1),kernel_string($arg2),kernel_string($arg3),$arg4); } probe process("/home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/bin/ruby").mark("method__return") { printf("%s <= %s.%s in %s:%d\n", thread_indent(-1), kernel_string($arg1),kernel_string($arg2),kernel_string($arg3),$arg4); } ``` dtrace was something similar to it. I was expecting to see this output: ``` # lots of calls # .... # then: 4090 ruby(9667): <= Gem::Specification.unresolved_deps in /home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/specification.rb:1298 4095 ruby(9667): => MonitorMixin.mon_exit in /home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/2.4.0/monitor.rb:197 4100 ruby(9667): => MonitorMixin.mon_check_owner in /home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/2.4.0/monitor.rb:247 4104 ruby(9667): <= MonitorMixin.mon_check_owner in /home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/2.4.0/monitor.rb:251 4109 ruby(9667): <= MonitorMixin.mon_exit in /home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/2.4.0/monitor.rb:204 4283 ruby(9667): <= Kernel.require in /home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55 4303 ruby(9667): <= Kernel.require in /home/vagrant/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55 0 ruby(9667): => Foo.bar in test.rb:3 16 ruby(9667): <= Foo.bar in test.rb:5 ``` (The output above is 2.4) my ruby (all versions that I tested) was install with rb-env: ``` RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS='--enable-dtrace --disable-install-doc' rbenv install 2.5.0 ``` I am happy to provide details if required. I'd also be happy to fix it if I have guidance. Thanks, -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
