I added 32 different streams in metadata because I have 32 binary stream
files stored in the disk. I have defined one type of event for each stream
file.
e.g.
stream{
id = 0;
};
has one event type:
event {
name = "RTEMS_RECORDING_EVENT_CPU_0";
stream_id = 0;
fields := struct event_field;
};
similarly,
stream{
id = 1;
};
has one event type:
event {
name = "RTEMS_RECORDING_EVENT_CPU_1";
stream_id = 1;
fields := struct event_field;
};
and so on.......
This amount of duplication seems inflexible and with a lot of overhead, so

I added <stream_id> at the beginning of every stream files.
So final binary stream format looks like this:
<stream_id> <ns> <event> <data> <ns> <event> <data> .....

I did it once. Is this something you are suggesting?

Okay. I have to work on the header part of the binary stream files.
