[lttng-dev] Lttng-java trace event formatting

[Alexandre Montplaisir]

Hi,

The Java agent library does not allow users to change the tracepoint 
signature. Defining a tracepoint requires writing a C macro and 
compiling it, so it cannot be done as easily as it is for a native program.

You could however modify the Java agent code, both on the Java side and 
in the native JNI library, to get the signature you are looking for. And 
then compile and run your Java application against the new library.

Cheers,
Alexandre
