[DTrace-devel] [PATCH 5/7] module: use uintptr_t as type for kernel symbols withuot type info

[Nick Alcock]

On 31 Oct 2023, Kris Van Hees via DTrace-devel spake thusly:

> When a kernel symbol is known to exist (found in kallsyms) but no type
> information can be found, a compilation error is reported.  That makes

Definitely. (Assuming such a type can be found, which you dealt with.)

... maybe we only want to do this if we're using BTF, not CTF, since CTF
should have the lot. I'm not sure.
