How about my proposal to instead change the loops in trace-event-{python,perl}.c, the only callers of trace_find_next_event, to be something akin to [idx_type_for_tep_get_event] event_count = tep_get_events_count(pevent); for ([idx_type_for_tep_get_event] idx = 0; idx < event_count; idx++) { struct tep_event *event = tep_get_events(...); } and just removing trace_find_next_event()? It's not a nice API imo, and seems unnecessary given that the events aren't a linked list anymore. > Care to send a formal patch? Will do. Greetings, Andres Freund
