# error::pass3(7stap)

systemtap pass-3 errors

## NAME

error::pass3 - systemtap pass-3 errors

## DESCRIPTION

Errors during pass 3 (translation) occur only rarely.

- unsupported code generation

  Some script language constructs are not available in every probe point.  For example, the  *@perf()* counter-reading function may only be used in  *process.\** probes.

## GATHERING MORE INFORMATION

Increasing the verbosity of pass-3 with an option such as *--vp 002* may help pinpoint the problem.
