[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 2/5] Modified the tracetool framework for LTTng 2.x.

[Mohamad Gebai]

* A new format is required to generate definitions for ust tracepoints.
  Files ust_events_h.py and ust_events_c.py define common macros, while
  new function ust_events_h in events.py does the actual definition of
  each tracepoint.
* ust.py generates the new interface for calling userspace tracepoints
  with LTTng 2.x, replacing trace_name(args) to tracepoint(name, args).
* As explained in ust_events_c.py, -Wredundant-decls gives a warning
  when compiling with gcc 4.7 or older. This is specific to lttng-ust so
  for now use a pragma clause to avoid getting a warning.

Good stuff. I notice you haven't added my Reviewed-by tags to your
commits. See http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch.

Anyway it all looks good to me.

Please switch to pkg-config instead of hardcoding particular flags.  I
checked that Fedora and Debian ship the pkg-config file.

I think you can avoid the variables by defining single dependencies
upfront:

$(obj)/generated-events.h: $(obj)/generated-ust-provider.h
$(obj)/generated-events.c: $(obj)/generated-ust.c

Unfortunately, some missing files in the Ubuntu package make it 
impossible to use pkg-config for versions of Ubuntu older than 13.10 
(like Ubuntu 12.04 which is a LTS). Would you be okay with these flags?

Hmm this is tricky because pkg-config really should be the portable way
to get at these flags. Perhaps we could just fall back to sensible
defaults if pkg-config fails?

On my 12.04 system (with the lttng PPA) it works fine:

$>pkg-config --libs lttng-ust
-llttng-ust -ldl  
$>pkg-config --cflags lttng-ust
-I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu  

Is there a bug raised with the Ubuntu upstream to fix their stable LTTNG package?
