NAME

       PAPI_get_thr_specific - Retrieve a pointer to a thread specific data structure.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

       Prototype:
           #include <papi.h>
            int PAPI_get_thr_specific( int tag, void **ptr );

       Parameters
           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.
           ptr A pointer to the memory containing the data structure.

       Return values
           PAPI_OK
           PAPI_EINVAL The tag argument is out of range.

       In C, PAPI_get_thr_specific PAPI_get_thr_specific will retrieve the pointer from the array
       with index tag. There are 2 user available locations and 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.

       Example:

            int ret;
            RateInfo *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 = (RateInfo *) malloc(sizeof(RateInfo));
               if (state == NULL) return (PAPI_ESYS);
               memset(state, 0, sizeof(RateInfo));
               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);
           }
