[RFC PATCH v4 2/3] tools lib traceevent: Add function to get dynamic arrays length

From: He Kuang
Date: Fri Jul 10 2015 - 06:04:27 EST


To print a trace event with a dynamic array, __print_array(array, len,
element_size) requires the number of items in the array, which can be
got by the helper function __get_dynamic_array_len(), currently it is
not an available function in the function list in process_function().

Add new arg type PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY_LEN which returns the array
length embedded in the __data_loc_##item field to eval_num_arg().
