Description Adrian Dudau 2013-04-11 12:52:32 UTC 
Most of the stap scripts from http://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/index.html will work using crosstap script from command line but will send Eclispe into non-responding state when run from the plugin.

Steps to reproduce:
1. wget http://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/profiling/sched_switch.stp
2. fill in system tap dialog (metadata, login, path to script)
3. add ' -c "sleep 1"  ' in the arguments field
4. launch the script

I think this is related to: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4099
Comment 2 Adrian Dudau 2013-04-11 16:08:35 UTC 
I don't think so. This issue is specific to the Eclipse plugin. When manually running the crosstap script from the terminal everything works fine.

Adrian,
Which commit are you using?
I have tested with:
commit fe336b149552b1f4f24d979c40302653298b98cc
Author: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Apr 3 05:11:50 2013 +0000


And it reproduces for me...
Comment 5 Adrian Dudau 2013-04-12 09:34:05 UTC 
I verified and the problem is solved for scripts with a limited running duration. However, for streaming scripts we still have the same issue. See Bug 4270. This might prove a bit more complex.
