scheduling a process
hi there i m having a confusion here with the looping in this example below. can someone help me out!?
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
char it = 'a';
char stop = 'z';
int x,ret;
for(; it<'f';it++)
{
// for(x=0; x<32000;x++)
write(1,&it,1);
}
x=fork();
if(x);
{
it='F'; stop = 'Z';
}
write(1,&it,1);
write(1,&stop,1);
for(; it<=stop;it++)
{
for(x=0;x<32000;x++);
write(1,&it,1);
}
}
=======================
heres my output
: abcdeFZFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZFZFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
for this example i have, the text says it is an example of "sheduling of a process". i can't really sort out why does it say so?
can someone tell me whats the difference between having
for(; it<'f';it++)
{
for(x=0; x<32000;x++)
write(1,&it,1);
}
and
for(; it<'f';it++)
{
for(x=0; x<32000;x++); //i don't get this part!
write(1,&it,1); //how does write work
}
also a similar question
if(x);
{
any code
}
and
if(x)
{
any code
}
Thank you

papi_start
PAPI_start(3) PAPI PAPI_start(3)
NAME
PAPI_start -
Start counting hardware events in an event set.
SYNOPSIS
Detailed Description
C Interface:
#include <papi.h>
int PAPI_start( int EventSet );
Parameters:
EventSet -- an integer handle for a PAPI event set as created by PAPI_create_eventset
Return values:
PAPI_OK
PAPI_EINVAL -- One or more of the arguments is invalid.
PAPI_ESYS -- A system or C library call failed inside PAPI, see the errno variable.
PAPI_ENOEVST -- The EventSet specified does not exist.
PAPI_EISRUN -- The EventSet is currently counting events.
PAPI_ECNFLCT -- The underlying counter hardware can not count this event and other events in the EventSet simultaneously.
PAPI_ENOEVNT -- The PAPI preset is not available on the underlying hardware.
PAPI_start starts counting all of the hardware events contained in the previously defined EventSet. All counters are implicitly set to zero
before counting. Assumes an initialized PAPI library and a properly added event set.
Example:
* int EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
* long long values[2];
* int ret;
*
* ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet);
* if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
*
* // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
* ret = PAPI_add_event(EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS);
* if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
*
* // Start counting
* ret = PAPI_start(EventSet);
* if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
* poorly_tuned_function();
* ret = PAPI_stop(EventSet, values);
* if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
* printf("%lld
",values[0]);
*
