Description
Hello,
Is there a way to read the type definition / structs etc from DWARF data of the binary itself ? This is how it works with perf probe - where it seems to transparently have all required definitions.
Thanks,
Marek

Research direction
Start by tracing BCC's uprobe support and comparing it with perf probe's handling of DWARF type definitions in the binary. Determine the scope needed to read structs and other type definitions; done means a supported way to use those definitions with uprobes and validation against the requested perf-probe behavior.
