It's documented in the Internals manual: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Varargs.html http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/typeclass.h?view=markup >> So perhaps you could copy that macro and let your compatibility casting >> do something like this: >> >> #define _SDT_CAST(x) \ >> __builtin_choose_expr (_SDT_ARGARRAY(x), (uintptr_t)(x), (x)) > > That depends on gcc - so we'd have to provide a fallback define to a > plain cast for other compilers.

Well, sdt.h itself uses such extensions, so you may not get far with very different compilers anyway. But FWIW, it seems to work fine on F15's clang-2.8. > And we may still end up defining away the problem, by just stating > that libvirt requires systemtap 1.4 or newer before libvirt will use > systemtap. I wouldn't blame you, if you can get away with that. We think the current version of SDT is more sane overall, with better flexibility as well as better resulting metadata.
