John, The purpose of this note is to start a discussion on rolling out a new release of OProfile. I think there are a number of community members who would like to see an official release that includes the new JIT support, as well as the various bug fixes and enhancements that have gone in since last summer. I would be willing to be the release manager again, as I did for 0.9.3. If the decision is made to put out a new release, there may be some outstanding patches that have been posted that people would like to see addressed in some way before a release goes out. Additionally, some bugs have been reported and bugzillas filed. Both the outstanding patches and reported bugs need to be prioritized and a decision made whether to resolve before or after a new release. Open bugs in sourceforge bugtracker (since previous release) are: 1930788 opreport error: basic_string::erase 1930779 "opreport --debug-info --symbols" segfaults 1828566 --xml, missing symboldata when used with -t/--threshold 1820202 differential profile broken in 0.9.3 1819350 oparchive doesn't work with kernel module I think some of these may be fixed in CVS already. Can anyone in the know verify any of these as being fixed or not? Also, one other bug that was recently reported to the list that I'd like to see fixed before the release is 'opreport -lXd segfault'. Maybe others have a "favorite" bug they'd like to see fixed before the release. Regards, -Maynard P.S. John, I'm still working through the process to get approval for accepting the OProfile maintainership role. |

In testing 0.9.3, my differential profile report testing resulted in 0% difference for a function where the two individual reports showed a large change. Testing the same scenario with current CVS code, I get the error message "error: no sample files found: profile specification too strict ?". Testing the same scenario with 0.9.1 gave expected results. I won't be able to put much debugging work on this problem until next week. Philippe, any clues about these issues? -Maynard > regards > john > |

Maynard, 1930788 opreport error: basic_string::erase I think this one is fixed with my patch to opd_anon.c that should be part of Daniel's latest merged world. I've posted the patch on the sourceforge page as well. It would be good if others who have experienced this problem in the past can verify that the fix works.
