[PATCH v1 6/8] perf stat: Delay metric parsing
Posted by Ian Rogers 3 years, 7 months ago
Having metric parsing as part of argument processing causes issues as
flags like metric-no-group may be specified later. It also denies the
opportunity to optimize the events on SMT systems where fewer events
may be possible if we know the target is system-wide. Move metric
parsing to after command line option parsing. Because of how stat runs
this moves the parsing after record/report which fail to work with
metrics currently anyway.

We check if we managed to allocate memory here, but not later at
strdup()?
