13/*
14 * SIDE ABI for type values.
15 *
16 * The extensibility scheme for the SIDE ABI for type values is as
17 * follows:
18 *
19 * * Existing type values are never changed nor extended. Type values
20 * can be added to the ABI by reserving a label within enum
21 * side_type_label.
22 * * Each union part of the ABI has an explicit size defined by a
23 * side_padding() member. Each structure and union have a static
24 * assert validating its size.
25 * * Changing the semantic of the existing type value fields is a
26 * breaking ABI change.
27 *
28 * Handling of unknown type values by the tracers:
29 *
30 * * A tracer may choose to support only a subset of the type values
31 * supported by libside. When encountering an unknown or unsupported
32 * type value, the tracer has the option to either disallow the entire
33 * event or skip over the unknown type, both at event registration and
34 * when receiving the side_call arguments.
