Hi Zhenyu, 

This is exactly why Jonathan and I asked you to fill a bug report on the bug tracker 
and follow the bug reporting guidelines ( [ https://lttng.org/community/#bug-reporting-guidelines | https://lttng.org/community/#bug-reporting-guidelines ] ). 

This saves time for everyone. 

Thanks, 

Mathieu
