The register and unregister function a created with DECLARE_TRACE macro.

For the test case, event_msg is a "dummy" tracepoint NOT declared to test this
particular case where no trace declaration is done (hence the check_type
function utility).

Ok, though I'm not sure I understand you? What do you end up checking by not declaring the tracepoint? As everything compiles anyway?

I don't really like that compiling fails with -O0 and succeeds with -O2, it's not really pleasing to my sense of order... :-)

I was doing some minor fixes in UST today when I came across a small
phenomenon. Since including Davids testcase for trae_mark_tp I cannot
compile with -Wall. The compiler throws out a

tracepoint_test.o: In function `__check_tp_type':
/home/nils/devel/ust/tests/tracepoint/tracepoint_test.c:64: undefined
reference to `register_trace_ust_event_msg'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Looking at the macros in include/ust/marker.h I find the function

void __check_tp_type(void)                \
        {                            \
            register_trace_##tp_name(tp_cb, call_private); \
        }                            \

defined inside the __trace_mark_tp_counter function.

In the case of _DEFINE_MARKER_TP we don't create the register and
unregister functions as far as I can tell. And the error only occurs
when compiling with -Wall which I'm guessing is because __check_tp_type
is never called and is optimised out completely normally? If I create a
void pointer and assign the function address to it I get the error when
compiling without -Wall as well.

Mathieu: What do you think of this, does it seem reasonable? How do you
think we should fix it? Simplest would be to remove the check, I don't
know if the register and unregister functions will be used for anything?
