Proposed patch in org.eclipse.linuxtools.tmf fchouinard: iplog+

Description Patrick Tasse CLA 2011-02-22 15:04:34 EST 
Build Identifier: 

Cloning an event produces an event with null source, reference, content and fields. This was done because a proper deep clone of Object data members of unknown type was not possible.

The proposed patch performs a shallow copy of these data members, which is not a proper clone either, but works as long as the data is not modified.

This should be revisited to find a correct solution.

Reproducible: Always
