/*
 * The Qt tracepoints API consists of only five macros:
 *
 *     - Q_TRACE(tracepoint, args...)
 *       Fires 'tracepoint' if it is enabled.
 *
 *     - Q_TRACE_EXIT(tracepoint, args...)
 *       Fires 'tracepoint' if it is enabled when the current scope exists.
 *
 *     - Q_TRACE_SCOPE(tracepoint, args...)
 *       Wrapper around Q_TRACE/_EXIT to trace entry and exit. First it traces
 *       `${tracepoint}_entry` and then `${tracepoint}_exit` on scope exit.
 *
 *     - Q_UNCONDITIONAL_TRACE(tracepoint, args...)
 *       Fires 'tracepoint' unconditionally: no check is performed to query
 *       whether 'tracepoint' is enabled.
 *
 *     - Q_TRACE_ENABLED(tracepoint)
 *       Returns 'true' if 'tracepoint' is enabled; false otherwise.
 *
 * When using LTTNG, Q_TRACE, Q_UNCONDITIONAL_TRACE and Q_TRACE_ENABLED map
 * ultimately to tracepoint(), do_tracepoint() and tracepoint_enabled(),
 * respectively, described on the lttng-ust manpage (man 3 lttng-ust).
 *
 * On ETW, Q_TRACE() and Q_UNCONDITIONAL_TRACE() are equivalent, ultimately
 * amounting to a call to TraceLoggingWrite(), whereas Q_TRACE_ENABLED()
 * wraps around TraceLoggingProviderEnabled().
 *
 * A tracepoint provider is defined in a separate file, that follows the
 * following format:
 *
 *     tracepoint_name(arg_type arg_name, ...)
 *
 * For instance:
 *
 *     qcoreapplication_ctor(int argc, const char * const argv)
 *     qcoreapplication_foo(int argc, const char[10] argv)
 *     qcoreapplication_baz(const char[len] some_string, unsigned int len)
 *     qcoreapplication_qstring(const QString &foo)
 *     qcoreapplication_qrect(const QRect &rect)
 *
 * The provider file is then parsed by src/tools/tracegen, which can be
 * switched to output either ETW or LTTNG tracepoint definitions. The provider
 * name is deduced to be basename(provider_file).
 *
 * To use the above (inside qtcore), you need to include
 * <providername_tracepoints_p.h>. After that, the following call becomes
 * possible:
 *
 *     Q_TRACE(qcoreapplication_qrect, myRect);
 *
 * Currently, all C++ primitive non-pointer types are supported for
 * arguments. Additionally, char * is supported, and is assumed to
 * be a NULL-terminated string. Finally, the following subset of Qt types also
 * currently supported:
 *
 *      - QString
 *      - QByteArray
 *      - QUrl
 *      - QRect
 *
 * Dynamic arrays are supported using the syntax illustrated by
 * qcoreapplication_baz above.
