Re: [tracecompass-dev] CTF trace reader: ordering events in multiple str

[Matthew Khouzam <matthew.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Phyo,

I hit the same problem a couple of weeks ago, try pulling the latest trace compass. It could help. For extending StreamInputReaderTimestampComparator.... that name leaves room for improvement. would a constructor with a new comparator work for you?

Something like CTFTrace(Dir, Comparator). I am hesitant to make one as it would be possible to make a broken reader that loses events/throws exceptions.

Thoughts?

Matthew.

Subject: [tracecompass-dev] CTF trace reader: ordering events in multiple streams with same timestamp

 

Dear all,

We have generated CTF trace file with multiple streams for each core and in some cases CTF events can have same timestamp during to sampling rate faster than clock speed. In this case the order seems to be what ever created first and assigned reader.

Generated

Event in stream file 1:    001 Core 0 Started work

Event in stream file 2:    001 Core 1 Completed work

Read back

001 Core 1 Completed work

001 Core 0 Started work

Looks like CTFTraceReader() has StreamInputReaderTimestampComparator() which is a bit inflexible to extend or modify.

Any suggestions to make it shown as written. I understand no other information to order them but we can add extra attribute during creation to set the order.

Thanks

Phyo
