Hi Jirka,

I thought that I was doing this. Indeed, this code is very much like 
__resolve_metric() ;)

So expr__find_other() may add a new item to pctx->ids, and we always 
iterate again, and try to lookup any pmu_events, *, above. If none 
exist, then we have broken down pctx into primitive events aliases and 
unresolvable metrics, and stop iterating. And then unresolvable metrics 
would be found in check_parse_cpu().

As an example, we can deal with metric test1, below, which references 2x 
other metrics:

     {
         "MetricExpr": "IDQ_UOPS_NOT_DELIVERED.CORE / (4 * (( ( 
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD / 2 ) * ( 1 + CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.ONE_THREAD_ACTIVE 
/ CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_XCLK ) )))",
       "MetricName": "Frontend_Bound",
     },
     {
         "MetricExpr": "( UOPS_ISSUED.ANY - UOPS_RETIRED.RETIRE_SLOTS + 
4 * INT_MISC.RECOVERY_CYCLES ) / (4 * cycles)",
         "MetricName": "Bad_Speculation",
     },
     {
         "MetricExpr": "Bad_Speculation + Frontend_Bound",
         "MetricName": "test1",
     },

Does that satisfy your concern, or have I missed something?

Thanks,
John
