Description

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 (3) or similar routines.

Arguments

EventSet -- Address of an integer location to store the new EventSet handle

Errors

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);
