perf: parse-events: Fix compilation error while defining DEBUG_PARSER

[RFC PATCH] perf: parse-events: Fix compilation error while defining DEBUG_PARSER

Posted by Clément Le Goffic 1 year, 8 months ago

Compiling perf tool with 'DEBUG_PARSER=1' leads to errors:

Remove extern declaration from the parse-envents.c file as there is a
conflict with the ones generated using bison and yacc tools from the file
parse-events.[ly].

I don't know how bison and yacc work together.
To me if those symbols are already generated (I don't know how), we
should get rid of them in the source file `parse-events.c`.
For my knowledge, if someone has the explanation of how they are
generated, I am interested as I didn't find any link to some part of
parse-events.[yl] files.

Applied to perf-tools-next, thanks!

I encounter the same problem and routinely just do a local change to
comment out the declaration. The definition comes from the original
patch adding debug support, Commit 82ba1f2f6148 ("perf tools: Add
support for displaying event parser debug info") and so I believe
older flex/yacc tools needed the declaration. I think the right thing
to do is to remove them.
