Note, I have a separate generic library in trace-cmd that has the parsing of trace events as its own library now.
This is the code that started trace-event-parse.c.
It has evolved quite a bit since then. You can get the code from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/trace-cmd.git
The files are parse-events.c and parse-events.h. As well as some filtering code: parse-filter.c.
It creates a libparsevent library.
I've been meaning to update the perf stuff with it, but just have not had the time. Seems that what you are doing might be a good fit for it.
