Hi Xiaona,

I taken a look at your proposal for GSoC. As you say here, looking at
the babeltrace API could also be interesting and could fit very well in
the time frame. Last year, we had an intern doing the binding for Python
and i fitted well in 4 months.
I would also suggest, that you add some exploration for the addition of
UST tracepoint to the lua language. This one is probably more
complicated, so it might be added to the description as an additionnal
item if time permit.
