I wonder if we could have a helper for this e.g. (untested)

#define event_contains(obj, mem) (obj.header.size > offsetof(typeof(obj), mem))

	if (event_contains(event->time_conv, time_cycles)) {

'struct perf_record_time_conv' contains bool, the sizeof which, AFAIK, is not defined.
Is it really 4 bytes on your implementation?  It is only 1 byte with gcc on x86.

Either way, you should change 'struct perf_record_time_conv' so it uses a type of known size.
Since you are the only one using it, it should match your implementation.
