Re: [PATCH v7 2/4] perf tools: Add lexical definition of event name

Hi, John

quoted

From: Shunsuke Nakamura <redacted>

Add the lexical definition of event name so that the numbers are recognizable.

Sorry for the hassle, but it's not clear that we got a definitive 
conclusion on this patch from v6 series:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YCuo01Wxxe%2FMCrC5@krava/ (local)

Would it be so much worse for you to change format of these event names 
to not start with a numberic?

I was trying to match the specifications published by Fujitsu exactly.
We also thought that being able to parse event names starting with a number would be an improvement for perf.
We've discussed it with the team, but we decided to change the event name.

Best Regards
Shunsuke
