Please try again with lttng-ust master HEAD, userspace-rcu master HEAD,
and let me know if you experience problems compiling your instrumented
application with --std=c99 -pedantic. Please note that the probe object
(e.g. tp.c in the tests/hello program) needs to be compiled with gnu
extensions, so you should not use --std=c99 for this specific object.

Thanks,

Mathieu
