Subject: [PATCH -tip 1/4] perf/probe: Improve error message for unknown member of data structure
Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2014 07:13:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140606071345.6788.23744.stgit@kbuild-fedora.novalocal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140606071338.6788.799.stgit@kbuild-fedora.novalocal>

Improve the error message if we can not find given member in
the given structure. Currently perf probe shows a wrong error
message as below.

  -----
  # perf probe getname_flags:65 "result->BOGUS"
  result(type:filename) has no member BOGUS.
  Failed to find 'result' in this function.
    Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
  -----

The first message is correct, but the second one is not, since
we didn't fail to find a variable but fails to find the member
of given variable.

  -----
  # perf probe getname_flags:65 "result->BOGUS"
  result(type:filename) has no member BOGUS.
    Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
  -----

With this patch, the error message shows only the first one.
And if we really failed to find given variable, it tells us so.

  -----
  # perf probe getname_flags:65 "BOGUS"
  Failed to find 'BOGUS' in this function.
    Error: Failed to add events. (-2)
