SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/11] LTTng-core (basic tracing infrastructure) 0.5.108

as i said, roughly half of the tracepoints are like this - and some of
them in functions in frequented places. That's far from "virtually no
maintainance overhead". In the -rt tree i have never more than a dozen
static tracepoints, yet even this small amount caused at least 5 extra
-rt tree iterations due to various breakages (build problems or even
crashes). Cruft comes in small steps, and my worry is that such
_unremovable_ markups will be cruft that never shrinks. With dynamic
tracers i see the _chance_ for cruft to shift to places where it does
not hurt, if that cruft turns out to become a hindrance.
