hi,
I checked on this one and was surprised last email is from 2016 ;-)
so we did not move much with this.. is there still will to do that?

I think we were kind of waiting for the namespace changes in
traceevent library.. like to have some common prefix for public
functions/struct, like 'traceevent_' ?

thoughts? thanks,
jirka
