Re: [tracecompass-dev] Adding additional events to TmfTrace

Hi David,

This sounds like experiments (TmfExperiment) could be a good fit. The
concept of an experiment is opening several traces together, and looking
at the result as if it was one single trace. In that case you would just
have to add a parser and trace type for the second additional trace.
That way you wouldn't need to re-create supplementary files specific to
the single traces. Note you could still have experiment-wide analyses
that create experiment-wide supplementary files too.
If that doesn't work, and you need to go with the approach of modifying
a single trace, then I would suggest creating a new trace entirely, and
having the framework open that. Trying to modify an already-open trace
will probably cause many problems, one of them being that events cannot
be added elsewhere than at the end of the trace. And even for that,
"live" trace-updating support is very limited and probably still quite
buggy.
Cheers,
Alexandre
