Re: [DTrace-devel] [PATCH v3] trace: print alloca pointers as actual pointer values

Largely similar comments to previous versions of this patch:

On 9/15/25 13:36, Kris Van Hees via DTrace-devel wrote:

The same as for v1 and v2:  s/ofssets/offsets/.

And, again, the patch performs poorly against testing.

The new test gives me:
     -OK 1 OK 333 OK 55555
     +OK 1059965305 OK 1059965637 OK 1060020859
which is to say that the dereferenced values are wrong.  (They are all 
the correct values plus some offset.)

And with this patch, these pre-existing tests fail:
     test/unittest/builtinvar/tst.tid_pid.sh: FAIL: erroneous exitcode (1).
     test/unittest/funcs/alloca/tst.alloca-bcopy-top.d: FAIL: expected 
results differ.
     test/unittest/funcs/bcopy/tst.bcopy_arg_order.d: FAIL: expected 
results differ.
     test/unittest/funcs/copyinto/tst.copyinto_arg_order.d: FAIL: 
expected results differ.

btw...

Why are these split over two awk clauses?  Can't they co-exist in the 
same clause?
