Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] tracing/synthetic: use union instead of casts
Date:   Thu, 10 Aug 2023 08:05:36 +0200
Message-Id: <20230810060538.1350348-2-svens@linux.ibm.com>
In-Reply-To: <20230810060538.1350348-1-svens@linux.ibm.com>

The current code uses a lot of casts to access the fields
member in struct synth_trace_events with different sizes.
This makes the code hard to read, and had already introduced
an endianness bug. Use a union and struct instead.
