4.1.3 Byte order
-By default, the native endianness of the source architecture is used.
-Byte order can be overridden for a basic type by specifying a "byte_order"
-attribute. Typical use-case is to specify the network byte order (big endian:
-"be") to save data captured from the network into the trace without conversion.
-If not specified, the byte order is native.
+By default, byte order of a basic type is the byte order described in
+the trace description. It can be overridden by specifying a
+"byte_order" attribute for a basic type. Typical use-case is to specify
+the network byte order (big endian: "be") to save data captured from the
+network into the trace without conversion.
TSDL meta-data representation:
byte_order = native OR network OR be OR le; /* network and be are aliases */
+The "native" keyword selects the byte order described in the trace
+description. The "network" byte order is an alias for big endian.
+
Even though the trace description section is not per se a type, for sake
-of clarity, it should be noted that native and network byte orders are
-only allowed within type declaration. The byte_order specified in the
-trace description section only accepts be OR le values.

4.1.4 Size
type (for compatibility with C99). The "int" type must be previously
declared. E.g.:
-typealias integer { size = 32; align = 32; signed = true } := int;
+typealias integer { size = 32; align = 32; signed = true; } := int;
enum {
...
Types uintX_t represent an X-bit unsigned integer, as declared with
either:
- typealias integer { size = X; align = X; signed = false } := uintX_t;
+ typealias integer { size = X; align = X; signed = false; } := uintX_t;
or
- typealias integer { size = X; align = 1; signed = false } := uintX_t;
+ typealias integer { size = X; align = 1; signed = false; } := uintX_t;
