Hi Stephane,
I wonder why we need to save the event descriptions in the feature area of file header. Since the perf_event_attr, its ids and the event name are already saved in the header, it seems a duplicate work to do that. For printing the information, we might reuse those info or evlist directly IMHO.
Am I missing something?
Thanks, Namhyung
