PAPI_create_eventset(3) PAPI PAPI_create_eventset(3)NAMEPAPI_create_eventset-
Create a new empty PAPI EventSet.
SYNOPSISDetailed Description
C Interface:
#include <papi.h>
PAPI_create_eventset( int * EventSet );
PAPI_create_eventset creates a new EventSet pointed to by EventSet,
which must be initialized to PAPI_NULL before calling this routine. The
user may then add hardware events to the event set by calling
PAPI_add_event or similar routines.
Note:
PAPI-C uses a late binding model to bind EventSets to components.
When an EventSet is first created it is not bound to a component.
This will cause some API calls that modify EventSet options to
fail. An EventSet can be bound to a component explicitly by calling
PAPI_assign_eventset_component or implicitly by calling
PAPI_add_event or similar routines.
Parameters:
*EventSet Address of an integer location to store the new EventSet
handle.
Exceptions:
PAPI_EINVAL The argument handle has not been initialized to
PAPI_NULL or the argument is a NULL pointer.
PAPI_ENOMEM Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
Examples:
int EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
if ( PAPI_create_eventset( &EventSet ) != PAPI_OK )
handle_error( 1 );
// Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
if ( PAPI_add_event( EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS) != PAPI_OK )
handle_error( 1 );
