I tested the following configurations:
The newly added test fails against versions of dtrace-provider without the fix.
FreeBSD 11 w/ node version v6.9.1 is fine too
Should I PR an update to the docs to say that src is a prereq?
Maybe here https://github.com/chrisa/node-dtrace-provider#platform-support
.....
FreeBSD is supported in principle but is restricted to only 4 working arguments per probe.
To build you will also need the OS source code
e.g.
# curl http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/11.0-RELEASE/src.txz > src.txz
Then extract them into the default location
# tar -C / -xvf src.txz
.....
I'm also not 100% that the 4 arg limitation is still required but I will look at that separate to the original PR.
Thanks for the explanation. That all sounds great to me!
This will fix chrisa/node-dtrace-provider#90 and merge in the work to support FreeBSD that @No9 did.
