dtrace discuss - Mar 2009 - Assertion in dtrace

Hi list,

I''m currently trying to build a sdt provider into an application.
Before
we moved our code into the code itself, parts of the provider were
provided by an extension loaded by the program. As a result the
function-entry probe already exists. Now if I compile my program with my
probes which reimplement function-entry (so provider name and probe name
match), I get the following error:

Assertion failed: strcmp(pvp->pv_desc.dtvd_name, pdp->dtpd_provider) =0,
file ../common/dt_provider.c, line 246

Do you know how dtrace get''s it''s information about the old
provider and
how I can remove it?

In this case were are talking about the dtrace extension of php
distributed with OpenSolaris.

Hey David,
