[lttng-dev] Babeltrace, Python3, and the Event Declarations

[Thibault, Daniel]

   I'm tinkering with the Python 3 bindings for babeltrace, and I've come upon an odd feature: for a given trace, if I ask for the EventDeclarations (using the TraceHandle), I end up getting the set of event declarations duplicated as many times as there are channels. And I mean exact duplicates.

   It's understandable that event declarations may recur between traces part of a single collection, but within a single trace?  And between channels?

   I looked at the raw metadata file of the trace, and that duplication is also present, so I suppose other babeltrace bindings than Python will run into this.
