With my current code,

static int parse_events__with_hybrid_pmu(struct parse_events_state *parse_state,
const char *str, char *pmu_name,
struct list_head *list)
{
struct parse_events_state ps = {
.list = LIST_HEAD_INIT(ps.list),
.stoken = PE_START_EVENTS,
.pmu_name = pmu_name,
.idx = parse_state->idx,
};
int ret;

ret = parse_events__scanner(str, &ps);
perf_pmu__parse_cleanup();

if (!ret) {
if (!list_empty(&ps.list)) {
list_splice(&ps.list, list);
parse_state->idx = ps.idx;
}
}

return ret;
}

The new created evsels are added to the tail of list (ps.list) and ps.list is joined to the list
(the parameter 'list').

If we want to reuse the __parse_events(), we may need to:

struct evlist *evlist = evlist__new();

__parse_events(evlist, str, NULL, NULL);
Add the evsels in evlist to the tail of list (the parameter 'list')
evlist__delete(evlist);

Is my understanding correct?

Yes, we have to change the interface of __parse_events() by adding a new parameter 'pmu_name', which
will bring much more changes. I agree to make this change in follow-up patches.

Thanks
Jin Yao
