From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> If a calculation between event fields is performed and there's no label (name) for it, it errors out, causing the bison parser to give a strange error: FAILED MEMORY: add_selection(sb, (yyvsp[0].expr), NULL) Failed creating synthetic event!: No such file or directory Instead, just set the compare->name field to NULL, and report a better error later on in the processing. ERROR: 'no name' Field calculations must be labeled 'AS name' Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- src/tracefs-sqlhist.c | 13 +++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/tracefs-sqlhist.c b/src/tracefs-sqlhist.c index f191661610c9..c27f7478a527 100644 --- a/src/tracefs-sqlhist.c +++ b/src/tracefs-sqlhist.c @@ -242,8 +242,6 @@ __hidden int add_selection(struct sqlhist_bison *sb, void *select, case EXPR_FIELD: break; case EXPR_COMPARE: - if (!name) - return -1; expr->compare.name = name; break; case EXPR_NUMBER: @@ -692,6 +690,9 @@ static int build_compare(struct tracefs_synth *synth, enum tracefs_synth_calc calc; int ret; + if (!compare->name) + return -1; + lval = &compare->lval->field; rval = &compare->rval->field; @@ -1069,6 +1070,14 @@ static void compare_error(struct tep_handle *tep, { struct compare *compare = &expr->compare; + if (!compare->name) { + sb->line_no = expr->line; + sb->line_idx = expr->idx + strlen("no name"); + + parse_error(sb, "no name", + "Field calculations must be labeled 'AS name'\n"); + } + switch (errno) { case ENODEV: case EBADE: -- 2.30.2
