From a1d44b9acdf7b2820ef762846150b4d13b84e075 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 21:47:51 -0300 Subject: perf evlist: Explicititely initialize input_name It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by being placed in the bss. Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL. The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using: gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC) But not on several other systems, by luck.
