It should point to the end of field param_ex How did you get that? The above shows the 4 bytes are: field:__data_loc char[] param_ex; offset:20; size:4; signed:1; And if you take the 4 bytes at offset 20 from above we get: 18 00 38 00 And since this is little endian, that turns into: 0x00380018 > (field:__data_loc char[] param_ex; offset:20; size:4; > signed:1) where store its data per my understanding.

Are those other files taken from the Linux kernel? Specifically: #include <linux/tracepoint.h> #include <linux/trace_seq.h> #include <trace/define_trace.h> -- Steve
