NAME

PAPI_stop_counters - PAPI High Level: stop counting hardware events and reset values to zero

SYNOPSIS

C Interface

#include <papi.h>
int PAPI_stop_counters(long_long *values, int array_len);

Fortran Interface

PAPIF_stop_counters(C_LONG_LONG(*) values, C_INT array_len, C_INT check)
#include fpapi.h

DESCRIPTION

PAPI_stop_counters()

This function stops the counters and copies the counts into the values array. The counters must have been started by a previous call to PAPI_start_counters(). After this function is called, the values are reset to zero.

ARGUMENTS

*values -- an array where to put the counter values

array_len -- the number of items in the *values array

RETURN VALUES

On success, this function returns PAPI_OK.
On error, a non-zero error code is returned.

ERRORS

One or more of the arguments is invalid.
The eventset is not started yet.
The eventset has not been added yet.

EXAMPLES


int Events[2] = { PAPI_TOT_CYC, PAPI_TOT_INS };
long_long values[2];
/* Start counting events */
if (PAPI_start_counters(Events, 2) != PAPI_OK)
handle_error(1);
your_slow_code();
/* Stop counting events */
if (PAPI_stop_counters(values, 2) != PAPI_OK)
handle_error(1);

BUGS

This function has no known bugs.
