Changes since v3:
- Change print_id() helper to a macro function to support printing of both hex and unsigned formats.
Changes since v2:
- Adjusting the order of local declarations in tracepoint_id_to_name()
- Remove unnecessary parentheses and "!= NULL" in tracepoint_id_to_name()
- Remove unnecessary comment of synchronizing with perf_event.h
- Add print_id helper()
- Remove "#ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT" put around "#include "trace-event.h"
- Remove comment of "// for free" for "#include <stdlib.h>"
Changes since v1:
- Modify initialization of path in tracepoint_id_to_path().
- Replace snprintf&strdup with asprintf.
- Use switch/case to get stringified name for type and id.
