[New-bugs-announce] [issue46781] Tracing: c_return doesn't report the result

[Matthias Urlichs]

New submission from Matthias Urlichs <matthias at urlichs.de>:

When tracing/profiling, the "return" event reports the value returned by the exiting function.

However, this does not work for C functions. The profiler's "c_return" hook is called with the same C function object as "c_call". This unnecessarily complicates debugging and should be fixed.
