From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> When commit d249170bf609d2c modified the arguments of 'virNetTLSContextNew' which has a systemtap probe defined the 'dtrace2systemtap' script was no longer to correctly generate the definitions for it. First problem which stemmed from mis-detecting the string array argumment as string, which would use 'user_string' to extract it was fixed in cb33103c4afbce681. After that the generated probe is still not correct because it doesn't strip all the '*' from pointers and thus for double pointers it generates the following invalid definition: probe libvirt.rpc.tls_context_new = process("/usr/lib64/libvirt.so").mark("rpc_tls_context_new") { ctxt = $arg1; cacert = user_string($arg2); cacrl = user_string($arg3); *cert = $arg4; *keys = $arg5; sanityCheckCert = $arg6; requireValidCert = $arg7; isServer = $arg8; } Leading to the following failure: # stap -ve 'probe oneshot {exit()}' parse error: expected literal string or number saw: operator '*' at /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/libvirt_probes-64.stp:204:3 source: *cert = $arg4; ^ 1 parse error. To address the issue the regex extracting the arguments needs to optionally match any number of '*' instead of just one.
