LTTng » LTTng-UST

I've used the following tracepoint definition without any issues (build, runtime, or data analysis) with LTTng-UST 2.11:

TRACEPOINT_EVENT(
  TRACEPOINT_PROVIDER,
  message_link_periodic_async,
  TP_ARGS(
    const void **, subs_arg,
    const size_t, num_subs_arg,
    const void **, pubs_arg,
    const size_t, num_pubs_arg
  ),
  TP_FIELDS(
    ctf_sequence_hex(const void *, subs, subs_arg, size_t, num_subs_arg)
    ctf_sequence_hex(const void *, pubs, pubs_arg, size_t, num_pubs_arg)
  )
)

This fails to build with LTTng-UST 2.13:

In file included from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/lttng/tracepoint-event.h:69,
                 from /builds/ros-tracing/ros2_tracing/build/tracetools/include/tracetools/tp_call.h:443,

I have not tested on 2.12, but from looking at the original commit, this should only affect 2.13: https://github.com/lttng/lttng-ust/commit/2df82195d140b39c40abfb43d526804a9d14d3da

This does not look like it is intended behaviour. I'm assuming I can work around this by explicitly using the pointers as integers, but of course a fix would be better (and a new/bugfix update for LTTng-UST 2.13 from the default packages on Ubuntu 22.04 would be ideal).
