[lttng-dev] How do you write an argument-less or payload-less kernel tracepoint?

[Daniel.Thibault@drdc-rddc.gc.ca (Thibault, Daniel)]

   How do you write an argument-less kernel tracepoint?  I tried:

TRACE_EVENT(hello_nil,
   TP_PROTO(),
   TP_ARGS(),
...
);

and

TRACE_EVENT_NOARGS(hello_nil,
// TP_PROTO(int x),
// TP_ARGS(x),
...
);

   Without success.

   A payload-less tracepoint is possible, but causes a couple of warnings:

   Is it possible to get rid of the warnings?
