dtrace discuss - Dec 2005 - Getting decoded instructions?

Howdy,

I read through Erik O''Shaughnessy''s nifty BLOG entry on
decoding
instructions:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/ejo?catname=Observability

And saw that Adam mentioned that the decoded instruction may
eventually be exported through a built in variable. I checked
the putback logs and reviewed the admin guide for a suitable
variable, but wasn''t able to find anything. Does anyone happen
to know if this functionality was added? This would be amazingly
useful for a project I am working on.

Thanks for any insight and happy holidays,
- Ryan

This is something I''ve been thinking about doing, but I
haven''t gotten
to it. Here''s the bug ID for your reference:
