From b39b839309ce8c5dd15cd95d26af153fa392c3e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:10:16 +0200 Subject: perf tools: Add parse_events_error interface Adding support to return error information from parse_events function. Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return: struct parse_events_error { int idx; char *str; char *help; }; where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed, 'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error and 'help' is optional help string. The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is: $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls event syntax error: 'sched:krava' \___ unknown tracepoint ... $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/' \___ unknown term valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type ... $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises' \___ parser error ... The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses the terminal width.
