cpc_seterrfn - control libcpc error reporting SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lcpc [ library... ] #include <libcpc.h> typedef void (cpc_errfn_t)(const char *fn, const char *fmt, va_list ap); void cpc_seterrfn(cpc_errfn_t *errfn); For the convenience of programmers instrumenting their code, several libcpc(3LIB) functions automatically emit to stderr error messages that attempt to provide a more detailed explanation of their error return values. While this can be useful for simple programs, some applications may wish to report their errors differently--for example, to a window or to a log file. The cpc_seterrfn() function allows the caller to provide an alternate function for reporting errors; the type signature is shown above. The fn argument is passed the library function name that detected the error, the format string fmt and argument pointer ap can be passed directly to vsnprintf(3C) or similar varargs-based routine for formatting. The default printing routine can be restored by calling the routine with an errfn argument of NULL. Example 1: Debugging example. This example produces error messages only when debugging the program containing it, or when the cpc_strtoevent() function is reporting an error when parsing an event specification int debugging; void myapp_errfn(const char *fn, const char *fmt, va_list ap) { if (strcmp(fn, "strtoevent") != 0 && !debugging) return; (void) fprintf(stderr, "myapp: cpc_%s(): ", fn); (void) vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap); } See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |Unsafe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Obsolete | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ cpc(3CPC), cpc_seterrhndlr(3CPC), libcpc(3LIB), vsnprintf(3C), attributes(5) The cpc_seterrfn() function exists for binary compatibility only. Source containing this function will not compile. This function is obso- lete and might be removed in a future release. Applications should use cpc_seterrhndlr(3CPC) instead. 28 Mar 2005 cpc_seterrfn(3CPC)

cpc_seterrhndlr - control libcpc error reporting SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lcpc [ library... ] #include <libcpc.h> typedef void(cpc_errhndlr_t)(cpc_t *cpc, const char *fn, int subcode, const char *fmt, va_list ap); void cpc_seterrhndlr(cpc_t *cpc, cpc_errhndlr_t *errfn); DESCRIPTION
For the convenience of programmers instrumenting their code, several libcpc(3LIB) functions automatically emit to stderr error messages that attempt to provide a more detailed explanation of their error return values. While this can be useful for simple programs, some applications might wanat to report their errors differently, for example, to a window or to a log file. The cpc_seterrhndlr() function allows the caller to provide an alternate function for reporting errors. The type signature is shown in the SYNOPSIS. The fn argument is passed the library function name that detected the error, an integer subcode indicating the specific error condidtion that has occurred, and the format string fmt that contains a textual description of the integer subcode. The format string fmt and argument pointer ap can be passed directly to vsnprintf(3C) or similar varargs-based function for formatting. The integer subcodes are provided to allow programs to recognize error conditions while using libcpc. The fmt string is provided as a con- venience for easy printing. The error subcodes are: CPC_INVALID_EVENT A specified event is not supported by the processor. CPC_INVALID_PICNUM The counter number does not fall in the range of available counters. CPC_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE A specified attribute is not supported by the processor. CPC_ATTRIBUTE_OUT_OF_RANGE The value of an attribute is outside the range supported by the processor. CPC_RESOURCE_UNAVAIL A hardware resource necessary for completing an operation was unavailable. CPC_PIC_NOT_CAPABLE The requested counter cannot count an assigned event. CPC_REQ_INVALID_FLAGS One or more requests has invalid flags. CPC_CONFLICTING_REQS The requests in a set cannot be programmed onto the hardware at the same time. CPC_ATTR_REQUIRES_PRIVILEGE A request contains an attribute which requires the cpc_cpu privilege, which the process does not have. The default printing routine can be restored by calling the routine with an errfn argument of NULL. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Debugging example. The following example produces error messages only when debugging the program containing it, or when the cpc_bind_curlwp(), cpc_bind_cpu(), or cpc_bind_pctx() functions are reporting an error when binding a cpc_set_t. int debugging; void myapp_errfn(const char *fn, int subcode, const char *fmt, va_list ap) { if (strncmp(fn, "cpc_bind", 8) != 0 && !debugging) return; (void) fprintf(stderr, "myapp: cpc_%s(): ", fn); (void) vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap); } ATTRIBUTES
