Hi J?r?mie,
Sorry for being a little impatient.
Please do let me know if you can provide some information regarding my previous email.
Thanks!
Salman

Subject: Re: [lttng-dev] Reading CTF trace using Babeltrace API
Hello again :)
While reading Kernel trace events (system calls), I came across an issue related to reading the field 'args' inside 'sys_unknown' system call event.
Below is the information I get using public babeltrace API's for the event field type.
Ctf_type_id = 8 (CTF_TYPE_ARRAY)
But when I try to read the value for the field using the following API
char * bt_ctf_get_char_array(const struct bt_definition *field);
I receive null value. Also it gives me warning that I am instead extracting a String.
[warning] Extracting String
Also, I am unable to read the value using the following API.
char *bt_ctf_get_string(const struct bt_definition *field);
below is the sample event recorded:
[00002934900435406801] (+0.000009630) sys_unknown: { cpu_id = 3 }, { id = 277, args = [ [0] = 22, [1] = 0, [2] = 4096, [3] = 2, [4] = 4096, [5] = 5 ] }
AND the event definition:
event {
name = sys_unknown;
id = 2;
stream_id = 0;
fields := struct {
integer { size = 32; align = 8; signed = 0; encoding = none; base = 10; } _id
integer { size = 64; align = 8; signed = 0; encoding = none; base = 10; } _args[6];
};
};
Any suggestion related to that will be very helpful.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Salman

Right. I was under the impression the bt_ctf_get_field() would only work on scopes, but it's not the case.

You should be using the bt_ctf_get_index() function to access the
individual elements of _args. Let me know how that works out.
As for the "Extracting string" message, it can indeed be misleading...

Thanks J?r?mie. It worked out fine by using the bt_ctf_get_index() function.
As for now, I ignored the warning " [warning] Extracting String".

You should be using the bt_ctf_get_index() function to access the individual elements of _args. Let me know how that works out.
As for the "Extracting string" message, it can indeed be misleading...
