[lttng-dev] how to generate CTF metadata

[Dominik Taborsky]

Hello,

I am working on a project that involves generating CTF metadata, but I 
am unsure about how to proceed. I am not sure about how to get 
information about types, i.e. their size, signedness, alignment and 
possibly other. I know this information can be gathered from DWARF. Is 
that the primary way to do this? Is there any other, reasonable way? Can 
you point me at some code that does this? How does the LTTng linux 
kernel module work?

Thanks.

Dominik
