[lttng-dev] Change of output format in lttng view?

[Glen Keane]

Hey guys,

Would you please  consider changing the '=' char to a ':' char in the event
data output of `lttng view`? it would make it more json-like.

Currently when you `lttng view` something you get

'[13:17:40.642101755] (+0.000213714) vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64 node:gc_done:
{ cpu_id = 0 }, { gctype = "kGCTypeScavenge", gcflags =
"kNoGCCallbackFlags" }',

I think that

'[13:17:40.642101755] (+0.000213714) vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64 node:gc_done:
{ cpu_id : 0 }, { gctype : "kGCTypeScavenge", gcflags :
"kNoGCCallbackFlags" }'

would be better.

Any thoughts? It seems to be very similar to json already. :)

Glen.

This output format, called ctf-text, is a custom one, even though it
shares similarities with JSON.

The Babeltrace viewer is currently actively being redesigned to
ease the creation of input/output formats thanks to a plugin interface
with a clean API. ctf-text will be available as a plugin, unchanged,
but JSON and YAML output plugins are also on the roadmap, so
stay tuned!
