perf c2c is a bit different. It sets 'j = 0;' before 'while' loop so it prints all of rec_argv[].

In test,

# perf c2c record -vvv -a -- sleep 1

calling: record -W -d --phys-data --sample-cpu -e 
{cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/,cpu_core/mem-loads,ldlat=30/}:P -e cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P -e 
cpu_core/mem-stores/P -e cpu_atom/mem-stores/P -a sleep 1

The verbose output looks OK.

Thanks
Jin Yao
