Fix to convert array element type collectly. Current perf-probe converts the type of array-elements incorrectly. It always converts the types as a pointer of array. This passes the "array" type DIE to the type converter so that it can get correct "element of array" type DIE from it.
E.g. ==== $ cat hello.c #include <stdio.h>
void foo(int a[]) { printf("%d\n", a[1]); }
void main() { int a[3] = {4, 5, 6}; printf("%d\n", a[0]); foo(a); }
$ gcc -g hello.c -o hello $ perf probe -x ./hello -D "foo a[1]" ====
Without this fix, above outputs ==== p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):u64 ==== The "u64" means "int *", but a[1] is "int".
With this, ==== p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):s32 ==== So, "int" correctly converted to "s32"
