Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Allow of casting an array of char to string
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:12:12 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348117932-786-1-git-send-email-hyc.lee@gmail.com> (raw)

Before casting a type of a variable to string,
convert_variable_type() confirms that the type is a pointer or
an array. if it is a pointer to char, it is casted to string.
but in case of an array of char, it isn't
