[lttng-dev] use of extern before tracepoint definition

[Yonghong Yan]

I am not sure whether this is a bug or the wrong I am using it. When I use
extern declaration as follows, I always have compilation error. I used the
easy-ust to demonstrate:

*diff --git a/doc/examples/easy-ust/sample_component_provider.h
b/doc/examples/easy-ust/sample_component_provider.h*

*index dd3c5f0..e70d650 100644*

*--- a/doc/examples/easy-ust/sample_component_provider.h*

*+++ b/doc/examples/easy-ust/sample_component_provider.h*

+extern int testint(int i);
