Subject: [PATCH 08/15] kernel-shark: Integrate the stream definitions with the C API
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 16:41:16 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200929134123.178688-9-y.karadz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200929134123.178688-1-y.karadz@gmail.com>

Unfortunately this integration can only happen in a single change,
which results into one huge patch, that may be hard to review. In
this patch we modify the API itself plus the two most basic examples
demonstrating how to use it. The most noticeable change that this
new version of the API brings is that the processing of the
trace-cmd/Ftrace data is wrapped inside the dedicated implementation
of the Data stream interface and no trace-cmd definitions are leaking
outside of src/libkshark-tepdata.c.
