    perf probe: Support "string" type · 73317b95
    Masami Hiramatsu authored
    Support string type casting to event argument. If perf-probe finds an argument
    casted as string, it ensures the target variable is "(unsigned/signed) char
    *(or []). perf-probe also adds dereference if the target is a pointer.
    
    So, both of 'char buf[10];' and 'char *buf;' can be accessed by 'buf:string'
