Re: [PATCH v2] perf: fix double free at function perf_hpp__reset_output_field

[Du, Changbin]

Hi jirka, Will you send a patch to fix this issue? If not I will send my

I have given up to add 'dynamic sort' feature since my code is not working
and I am engaged in other things. I still hope this fix can be picked up.
Thanks!
