| |
perf probe outputs incorrect error message when it called with non-exist field on a non-data structure local variable.
<Before> # perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge' Fatal: Structure on a register is not supported yet. # perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge' Fatal: Semantic error: hoge must be referred by '.'
This corrects the messsage.
<After> # perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge' Fatal: count is not a data structure. # perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge' Fatal: count is not a data structure.
