It may be worthwhile to document an even-simpler case:

- no .d file
- no invocation of the dtrace python script
- no generated .h or .o file
- in the C file, just add:

  #include <sys/sdt.h>

  void main () {
       /* ... */
       STAP_PROBE(provider_name,probe_name);
       /* ... */
  }

- gcc file.c
- stap -l 'process("./a.out").mark("*")' to list
