perf help: Fix --help for builtins

2012-10-22T14:35:49Z

It seems that commit cc5848213329 ("perf help: Remove use of die and handle errors") caused the problem - it changed the initial value of 'help_format' from HELP_FORMAT_MAN to HELP_FORMAT_NONE. This broke the --help option for all builtins, that would produce no output, while 'man perf-top' would work it MANPATH is properly setup.

perf help: Don't use globals where not needed to

2012-10-02T21:36:31Z

Some variables were global but used in just one function, so move it to where it belongs.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

2012-09-11T15:19:15Z

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

perf options: Type check all the remaining OPT_ variants

2010-05-17T19:22:41Z

OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin compatible with unsigned int. Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a const char * type.

perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR()

2010-04-14T09:26:44Z

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool and would therefore print out the usage information and terminate. This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is currently the only such example of this). I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints. The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie Acked-by: David S.
