From ddeea494a16f32522bce16ee65f191d05d4b8282 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Schnelle Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2023 17:49:26 +0200 Subject: tracing/synthetic: Use union instead of casts The current code uses a lot of casts to access the fields member in struct synth_trace_events with different sizes. This makes the code hard to read, and had already introduced an endianness bug. Use a union and struct instead.
