Works for me. Or maybe "info sdt-probes" that would cover all of the varieties of this kind of probes, as in my other suggestion. > > > (gdb) b -probe m4 > > > Breakpoint 1 at 0x400505 > > > > Again, either "break -stap-probe" or even just "break -stap" would be > > better, IMO. > > Again -probe may try to find that probe in all the probe backends, later > extensible by -probe-stap and -probe-foo? Could be. Or "break -std-probe", which is general enough to cover several varieties, and yet less general than just "-probe". Thanks.
