dtrace discuss - Mar 2010 - 6435862 dtrace -G can generate malformed string tables

Hi,

Is the fix for 6435862 in this version of Dtrace?

  $ dtrace -V
  dtrace: Sun D 1.3

Regards,
Ethan

I am using Sun D 1.3 on Solaris 10 5/09 s10x_u7wos_08, and am seeing
the following error:

  ...
  dtrace -G -32 -x nolibs -s $topdir/ompi/dtrace/mpi_provider.d ...
  libtool: link: cc -G -h mca_pml_ob1.so -o .libs/mca_pml_ob1.so ... -lsocket
-lnsl -lrt -lm -lc -xtarget=generic -xarch=sse2
  ld: warning: global symbol `'' has non-global binding:
          (file .libs/pml_ob1_sendreq.o value=LOCL);
  ld: fatal: file .libs/pml_ob1_sendreq.o: section .symtab: symbol[108]:
specifies string table offset 0x583e50: exceeds string table .strtab: size 0xb3b
  ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to .libs/mca_pml_ob1.so
  ...

The issue appears to be possibly related to:

Does my dtrace have the fix for 6435862?

If you look at the Solaris 10 entry for that bug you''ll see
it''s listed as
fixed in s10u4_03, which is well before the s10u7_08 you''re running.
