Go to the documentation of this file.

/* This file performs the following test: overflow dispatch with pthreads

   - This example  tests the dispatch of overflow calls from PAPI. The event
     set is counted in the default counting domain and default granularity, 
     depending on the platform. Usually this is the user domain 
    (PAPI_DOM_USER) and thread context (PAPI_GRN_THR).

     The Eventset contains:
     + PAPI_TOT_INS (overflow monitor)
     + PAPI_TOT_CYC
   
   Each thread will do the followings :
   - enable overflow
   - Start eventset 1
   - Do flops
   - Stop eventset 1
   - disable overflow
