[PATCH 0/4] perf annotate-data: Support flexible array types
Posted by Namhyung Kim 1 week, 6 days ago
Hello,

The flexible arrays are dynamically allocated with different size.  So checking
with the original type size won't match and cannot match the sample.  This patch
series detects those flex-arrays and allows accesses beyond the original size.

I'm not sure what's the best way to add test codes for data type profiling as it
seems we need to add a lot more workloads for different cases.  Probably we may
want to split the workloads as separate binaries.

Thanks,
Namhyung
