Hey all I added a tracef tracepoint and want to decode it's `msg` field in the BT_EVENT_FIELDS scope. Babeltrace on the command line seems to handle this nicely, but whatever I try, it doesn't work with the API.
I'm using babeltrace from the stable-1.5 branch.
First, the output from babeltrace on the command line:
```
event {
name = "lttng_ust_tracef:event";
id = 9;
stream_id = 0;
loglevel = 14;
fields := struct {
integer { size = 32; align = 8; signed = 0; encoding = none;
base = 10; } __msg_length;
integer { size = 8; align = 8; signed = 1; encoding = UTF8;
base = 10; } _msg[ __msg_length ];
};
};
...
timestamp = 15:56:15.404973865, delta = +0.000023594, trace = 1000/64-bit,
trace:hostname = agathebauer, trace:domain = ust, loglevel = TRACE_DEBUG (14),
name = lttng_ust_tracef:event, stream.packet.context = { timestamp_begin =
4382372875047, timestamp_end = 4462741641629, content_size = 47177888,
packet_size = 47185920, packet_seq_num = 0, events_discarded = 0, cpu_id = 3
}, stream.event.header = { id = ( "compact" : container = 9 ), v = { compact =
{ timestamp = 70385656 } } }, event.fields = { _msg_length = 33, msg =
"run_event_entry: ImageCache, 1000" }
...
```
Now, in my code I find the event and then I've tried:
```
auto definition = bt_ctf_get_field(event, scope, "msg");
auto declaration = bt_ctf_get_decl_from_def(definition);
auto type = bt_ctf_field_type(declaration);
auto encoding = bt_ctf_get_encoding(declaration);
auto string = bt_ctf_get_string(definition);
auto char_array = bt_ctf_get_char_array(definition);
const bt_definition* const* list = nullptr;
unsigned num_list = 0;
auto field_list_ret = bt_ctf_get_field_list(ctf_event, definition,
&list, &num_list);
fprintf(stderr, "tracef dbg: %p %p | %d %d | %s | %s | %p %u
%d\n", definition, declaration, type, encoding, string, char_array, list,
num_list, field_list_ret);
```
the output is:
```
tracef dbg: 0x55e4c5b084f0 0x55e4c5b3f220 | 9 1 | (null) | (null) | (nil) 0 -1
```
So, it's a sequence (type 9), but I can't get the sequence... Actually, when I
tried this the firs ttime without patching babeltrace, then it crashed in
events.c:256 [1]. The def_sequence is non-null, but def_sequence->elems is
null and that's not checked...
[1]: https://github.com/efficios/babeltrace/blob/stable-1.5/formats/ctf/
events.c#L256
I'm quite stumped - what am I doing wrong? How does babeltrace handle the
string-decoding of tracef's msg arg?
Thanks
