Humm, but don't we have that checked?

void parse_events_evlist_error(struct parse_events_evlist *data,
                               int idx, const char *str)
{
        struct parse_events_error *err = data->error;

        if (!err)
                return;
        err->idx = idx;
        err->str = strdup(str);
        WARN_ONCE(!err->str, "WARNING: failed to allocate error string");
}
