[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] trace: only permit standard C types and fixe


From: Daniel P . Berrangé
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] trace: only permit standard C types and fixed size integer types
Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2018 15:55:24 +0000

Some trace backends will compile code based on the declared trace
events. It should not be assumed that the backends can resolve any QEMU
specific typedefs. So trace events should restrict their argument
types to the standard C types and fixed size integer types. Any complex
pointer types can be declared as "void *" for purposes of trace events,
since nothing will be dereferencing these pointer arguments.
