Alan Coopersmith<p>The mdb debugger and dtrace framework rely on CTF info in ELF binaries for information about variable types and structures. While the commands needed to put this information into binaries have been available since <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSolaris</span></a>, they weren't officially documented and supported until now. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OracleSolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OracleSolaris</span></a> 11.4.75 officially delivers ctfconvert, ctfdump, & ctfmerge in /usr/bin with public man pages.</p>

Nahum Shalman<p>I joined Twitter back in 2012 to follow various folks in the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/opensolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensolaris</span></a> / <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>illumos</span></a> :illumos_logo: community.
