- Subject: tracepoint.c memory range requests
Looking at the code in tracepoint.c:stringify_collection_list, it
seems that memory ranges with absolute addresses end up having the
form MFFFFFFFF,<start>,<len>. This is because "%X" always treats its
argument as unsigned. So the number of F's depends on sizeof
(unsigned int).
I know that we spent some effort keeping the packets small. Since
there are, as far as we know, no stubs that support tracepoints in
active use, may I change that to send '-' instead of the F's?
