The reason is the same as builtin-script doesn't use trace_event__register_resolver, because we only use report and script to analyze offline perf.data, and there could be no tracepoints in perf.data.
The wrapper trace_event__register_resolver always initialize tevent.pevent, and calling pevent_set_function_resolver which isn't necessary when there is no tracepoints in the perf.data. > > jirka > > > + > > sort__setup_elide(stdout); > > > > ret = __cmd_report(&report); > > -- > > 1.8.5.6.2.g3d8a54e.dirty > >
