PAPI_set_thr_specific(3)

NAME
PAPI_set_thr_specific -

Store a pointer to a thread specific data structure.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

@par Prototype:

    int PAPI_set_thr_specific( int tag, void *ptr );

@param tag
    An identifier, the value of which is either PAPI_USR1_TLS or
    PAPI_USR2_TLS. This identifier indicates which of several data
    structures associated with this thread is to be accessed.
@param ptr
    A pointer to the memory containing the data structure.

@retval PAPI_OK
@retval PAPI_EINVAL
    The @em tag argument is out of range.

In C, PAPI_set_thr_specific will save @em ptr into an array indexed by @em tag.
There are 2 user available locations and @em tag can be either
PAPI_USR1_TLS or PAPI_USR2_TLS.
The array mentioned above is managed by PAPI and allocated to each
thread which has called PAPI_thread_init.
There is no Fortran equivalent function.

@par Example:

int ret;
HighLevelInfo *state = NULL;
ret = PAPI_thread_init(pthread_self);
if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);

// Do we have the thread specific data setup yet?

ret = PAPI_get_thr_specific(PAPI_USR1_TLS, (void *) &state);
if (ret != PAPI_OK || state == NULL) {
    state = (HighLevelInfo *) malloc(sizeof(HighLevelInfo));
    if (state == NULL) return (PAPI_ESYS);
    memset(state, 0, sizeof(HighLevelInfo));
    state->EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
    ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&state->EventSet);
    if (ret != PAPI_OK) return (PAPI_ESYS);
    ret = PAPI_set_thr_specific(PAPI_USR1_TLS, state);
    if (ret != PAPI_OK) return (ret);
}
