Indeed. But this new code block here looks exact same like the previous and existing one
i.e with branch_new_name() and PERF_BR_NEW_MAX. The complain is that - '%8s' directive
argument is NULL. This warning might just be a false positive [1], because of a compiler
problem on powerpc64el ? But please do let me know if something needs to be changed here
to avoid this warning.
