[lttng-dev] [barectf] no nested types?

[RADERMACHER Ansgar]

Hello,

I've generated a config.yaml from type definitions in UML. If the type of a payload field is a UML DataType, the generator produces an associated type alias file with "class = structure" and the contained members.

When I tried to compile the configuration file, I get an error message from barectf:
`field-type` property: Nested structure field types are not supported

It this really not supported or are there other mechanisms that enable the use of nested types? If not supported, it would be an important restriction which seems to be not prominently documented (in [1], there is a parenthesis "except a structure field type object" but it's easy to miss)

Best regards

Ansgar
