Agree. I will address this in the next version of patches.

BTW, in patch 3/4, I defined a structure variable like this:
   "static struct trace_seq *stm_tmp_seq;"
It was actually the first parameter of " trace_event_stm_output_##call
" which was in the patch 4/4.

Do you think if it is an accept way to handle like this? Whether we
would have a better way instead of defining a structure variable
locally?

Thanks,
Chunyan
