Platform : Solaris 10 Update 6 64-bit X86 with GCC 4.1.2

Greetings All,

I have just tried to build perl5 from the git repo
(faa13f9) for Solaris with DTrace
Support enabled. The build failed due to missing dependencies. It
appears that the required object files are not yet built at the stage
of the build where perldtrace.o is generated from perldtrace.d.

I tried adding dependencies to perldtrace.o to build the required
objects before perldtrace.o, but that was not successful (see
below).

The second approach was simply to remove those object from the
list of files passed to the 'dtrace -G' command. This approach works
and all test harness pass :-)

Is it the absolute right way to do this?
Honestly I can't be sure, dtrace does NOT seem to modify any existing
object files passed to it, but take notice of the ELF CLASS of the
objects passed to it, saving us passing -32 or -64 explicitly.

The diff for your evaluation​:

PS​: Additionally, the following may assist people trying to compile perl
5.12.0 on Solaris 10 with GCC 4.1.2 or possibly other versions of
GCC. The generated header file, perldtrace.h, includes an #if
_DTRACE_VERSION, which is used to determine if DTrace is available and
its major version number. It gets this via '#include <unistd.h>',
which gets the real definition from
<sys/feature_tests.h>. Unfortunately, my version of GCC has a
GCC 'fixincludes' generated version of <sys/feature_tests.h> which
misses that definition. (Probably because GCC was build on S10U3 and
I'm now running S10U6). Regardless, a successful compile with DTrace
enabled did not produce any DTrace functionality. Adding
-Accflags='-D_DTRACE_VERSION=1' to the Configure line is a temporary
workaround (ok hack) which worked for me.

From jpl@plosquare.com

I just ran into the same issue and checked that the proposed solution
works. However, it is not ideal because it breaks build if dtrace probes
are ever added to perl.c and op.c in the future. In fact, an example of
such probes was already supplied by Sven Dowideit​:
http​://fosiki.com/blog/2008/02/15/blead-perl-dtrace-probes/

A proper solution must take two factors into account​:
1) when dtrace -G is first run, it must work over perlmini.o and
opmini.o, as perl.o and op.o do not yet exist at that time (this problem
is what the original poster's fix addresses)
2) a second pass of dtrace -G is also necessary because perl.o and op.o
are apparently recreated before the main perl executable is built;
during this second pass dtrace must work over perl.o and op.o rather
than perlmini.o and opmini.o

If either (1) or (2) is ignored and one of perl.c or op.c contains
dtrace probes, then there will be complaints from the linker about
undefined dtrace symbols (while building miniperl and/or building perl
executable).

Unfortunately, I'm not fluent enough with make to provide an elegant
solution myself. Hopefully this will help put someone on the right track.

From​: David Leadbeater <dgl@​dgl.cx>

As outlined in the RT ticket due to miniperl's dependencies differing to
the final perl binary dtrace -G needs to be called separately for each.

Build tested on Mac OS X 10.6, Solaris 11 and Scientific Linux with
SystemTap from git.

(Solaris is the only system I have access to where DTRACE_O actually gets
defined. Neither the dtrace binary on OS X nor SystemTap's dtrace
compatibility layer accept the -G option.)

This has two votes to cherry-pick, one of them mine. With this commit, I can
compile -Dusedtrace on Solaris and all tests pass. Without this commit, I
cannot. If a third could please review and vote on this, it would make
possible the use of a dtrace-enabled Perl on Solaris, which would be a great
