   cannot include all user-defined struct declarations and it is therefore
71 71 
   necessary to use void * for pointers to structs.

   Pointers (including char *) cannot be dereferenced easily (or at all) in


  		





  74
  
  
    
   some trace backends.  If pointers are used, ensure they are meaningful by


  		





  75
  
  
    
   themselves and do not assume the data they point to will be traced.  Do


  		





  76
  
  
    
   not pass in string arguments.

 * For everything else, use primitive scalar types (char, int, long) with the


  		





  79
  74
  
    
   appropriate signedness.

trace backends but it is portable.  This is the recommended trace backend


  		





  183
  178
  
    
unless you have specific needs for more advanced backends.

The "simple" backend currently does not capture string arguments, it simply


  		





  
  181
  
    
records the char* pointer value instead of the string that is pointed to.
