From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2022 02:08:35 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Fix: ustcomm: serialize variant_nestable type X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=61c70d3794a4e8c965bbdbdd19934374ab83a70d;p=lttng-ust.git Fix: ustcomm: serialize variant_nestable type LTTng-UST 2.13 serializes the contents of the variant_nestable union field, but keeps the "atype" as lttng_ust_ctl_atype_variant. It happens to work by pure chance because the binary layout of the variant_nestable and legacy.variant union fields are the same, except for the alignment field of variant_nestable which is zeroed padding in the legacy.variant. Therefore, as long as the variant_nestable has a padding of 0, everything works out fine (which is currently the case). But it's better to fix this discrepancy in case we ever plan to use a nonzero variant alignment.
