From 12e5a7ae475ccb2733d740ffb95d9ca0a18392da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 12:50:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Correct error message for non-structure type perf probe outputs incorrect error message when it is called with non-existent field on a non-data structure local variable. # 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. # 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.
