[lttng-dev] Viewing userspace apps traces

[Bernd Hufmann]

Hi Paul

I was trying your trace with the Eclipse Juno SR1 CDT EPP and you're
right the context information is not displayed in the Events Table
(I'm not talking about the Time Graph and its table).
I was verifying the commits and the commit that added the support for
displaying of context information in the Events Table is in the
release. As well as the example trace with context
information I generated and tested with works. However, it was a
Kernel trace with context information and not a UST trace.

So, that needs to be investigated on our side (Eclipse developer) why
the context information is not shown for the UST trace. We'll let you
know.

Best Regard
Bernd
