Description Holger Hoffstätte 2024-10-27 20:08:44 UTC
I just tried to use bcc with Lua (via the provided bcc-lua starter) to run the examples, and found that *nothing* works, and apparently has been broken for many years. Not a single example runs, and in fact not even the bcc-lua binary works correctly as it is underlinked (no libbcc.so reference), see the linked GH bug.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build bcc with USE=lua (enabled by default)
2. bcc-lua /usr/share/bcc/examples/lua/task_switch.lua
3. broken/crashes (see linked GH bug)




Since this seems to be broken upstream since forever it's probably best to just disable Lua support in the ebuild.
