Description

The attached patch modifies the hello.cxx test (from lttng-ust 2.1.1) to add an array of floats argument.
as you see in the following output (babeltrace v1.0.3 with the python bindings patchs), the field floatarrfield shows ints instead of the expected floats:

$ rm -rf ~/lttng-traces/ ; lttng create && lttng enable-event -a -u && lttng start && ./run && lttng stop && lttng destroy && babeltrace ~/lttng-traces | head -n 2
Session auto-20130419-222314 created.

as a workaround, the floating point value can be retrieved in python using:

In [1]: import struct

In [2]: struct.unpack('f', struct.pack('i', 1066192077))
Out[2]: (1.100000023841858,)

integer { size = 32; align = 8; signed = 1; encoding = none; base = 10; } _floatarrfield[3];

wrong type declared by UST.

I don't really see how we could distinguish between float and integer at the macro level.

So we might end up having to implement a ctf_array_float() in include/lttng/ust-tracepoint-event.h.

Thoughts ?

maybe something like

#define ctf_array(type, field, var, size) ctf_array_##type(field, var, size)

#define ctf_array(type, field, var, size) ctf_array_##type(field, var, size)

won't work, because "type" can be "unsigned long" (with space), which cannot be used in an identifier.

would a new "ctf_array_float" be a sensible solution then ? I'm tempted to flag this bug as a feature request though.

yes adding ctf_array_float & ctf_array_double sounds sensible (and I have not better solution)
