bpftrace and include search paths?


Richard Elling
 

I have a need to have a bpftrace script #include headers from a project
directory. In cc, this is like adding -I<path>. Am I blind from reading manuals
or is there a clever way to pass that info down through bpftrace into bpf or
is this a new RFE?

C_INCLUDE_PATH=... environment variable should work.

But you can file an RFE or PR anyway to add this to the docs. Thanks!

Yes, thanks. Though CPATH seems to be more universal. I'll work up some docs and
submit a PR.

Now, if I can find an equivalent to dtrace's print(arg[0])...

We use the clang library to process includes, so any environment
variable that clang accepts should work. I haven't tested it, but
CPATH is listed in clang's documentation, so it should work as well.
C_INCLUDE_PATH will force the includes to only be used if clang is
parsing a .c file (which it always is in bpftrace context).

Thanks Matheus, CPATH works for sure, C_INCLUDE_PATH I'll need to verify. 
I'll send a docs PR when I get a chance.
