From 55421b4fb7054f85274b1b6a321e204dac696133 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Taeung Song Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2017 12:18:56 +0900 Subject: perf config: Allow creating empty config set for config file autogeneration When there isn't a config file (e.g. ~/.perfconfig) or it has nothing, the config set wasn't created. If the config set does not exist, a config file can't be autogenerated. So allow creating a empty config set in the above case, then we can support the config file autogeneration. Before: $ rm -f ~/.perfconfig $ perf config --user report.children=false $ cat ~/.perfconfig cat: /root/.perfconfig: No such file or directory But I think it should work even if there isn't a config file. After: $ rm -f ~/.perfconfig $ perf config --user report.children=false $ cat ~/.perfconfig # this file is auto-generated. [report] children = false NOTE: As a result, if perf_config_set__init() fails, it looks as if the config set isn't freed. But it isn't a problem. Because the config set will be freed by perf_config_set__delete() at the end of cmd_config().
