Two things: first of all DTrace could really benefit from a general purpose mechanism of hooking up custom stack helpers with the rest of the system. Frankly, the way jstack is done doesn't strike me as too generic a mechanism. Second, I would like to encourage those who do DTrace integration into Perl to take a look at what JavaScript is doing. They don't have a custom stack helper either but the set of probes they offer makes stack synthesis a trivial (albeit costly) matter. Thanks, Roman.
