dtracing static symbols

[Prashanth Kumar]

Hi,

If the binary being traced has static symbols in its symbol table, DTrace should
be able to trace the function. Can you describe the example where you found this
difference in FreeBSD and OSX?

 Hi,
 I have been experimenting with DTrace on 9.2 and I was
 wondering if there was some way to trace static symbols in
 binaries?
 
 I did some testing on OSX and apparently Solaris can also do
 it but not [yet?] FreeBSD.
 
 Unfortunately I haven't had much luck finding the code which
 does it in Solaris (so I can't check if it's in a later
 version of FreeBSD).
 
 Thanks.
