Subject: [PATCH v7 4/5] perf callchain: Refactor callchain option parsing
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:58:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318175808.582009-5-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318175808.582009-1-irogers@google.com>
record_opts__parse_callchain is shared by builtin-record and
builtin-trace, it is declared in callchain.h. Move the declaration to
callchain.c for consistency with the header. In other cases make the
option callback a small static stub that then calls into callchain.c.
Make the no argument '-g' callchain option just a short-cut for
'--call-graph fp' so that there is consistency in how the arguments
are handled. This requires the const char* string to be strdup-ed in
__parse_callchain_report_opt. For consistency also make
parse_callchain_record use strdup and remove some unnecessary
casts. Also, be more explicit with comments about the '-g' behavior if
there is a .perfconfig file setting.
