[PATCH] perf tools: Fix build error on zfree()

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Jan 09 2014 - 09:08:17 EST


It failed to build perf on my ubuntu 10.04 box (gcc 4.4.3):

CC util/strlist.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
util/strlist.c: In function âstr_node__deleteâ:

util/srcline.c:143: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
make: *** [util/srcline.o] Error 1

It seems it only allows to remove 'const' qualifier.
