Detailed Description

       The hwloc_bitmap_t type represents a set of integers (positive or null). A bitmap may be
       of infinite size (all bits are set after some point). A bitmap may even be full if all
       bits are set.

       Bitmaps are used by hwloc for sets of OS processors (which may actually be hardware
       threads) as by hwloc_cpuset_t (a typedef for hwloc_bitmap_t), or sets of NUMA memory nodes
       as hwloc_nodeset_t (also a typedef for hwloc_bitmap_t). Those are used for cpuset and
       nodeset fields in the hwloc_obj structure, see Object Sets (hwloc_cpuset_t and
       hwloc_nodeset_t).

       Both CPU and node sets are always indexed by OS physical number. However users should
       usually not build CPU and node sets manually (e.g. with hwloc_bitmap_set()). One should
       rather use existing object sets and combine them with hwloc_bitmap_or(), etc. For
       instance, binding the current thread on a pair of cores may be performed with:

       hwloc_obj_t core1 = ... , core2 = ... ;
       hwloc_bitmap_t set = hwloc_bitmap_alloc();
       hwloc_bitmap_or(set, core1->cpuset, core2->cpuset);
       hwloc_set_cpubind(topology, set, HWLOC_CPUBIND_THREAD);
       hwloc_bitmap_free(set);

       Note
           Most functions below return 0 on success and -1 on error. The usual error case would
           be an internal failure to realloc/extend the storage of the bitmap (errno would be set
           to ENOMEM). See also Error reporting in the API.

           Several examples of using the bitmap API are available under the doc/examples/
           directory in the source tree. Regression tests such as tests/hwloc/hwloc_bitmap*.c
           also make intensive use of this API.

Macro Definition Documentation

   #define hwloc_bitmap_foreach_begin(id, bitmap)
       Loop macro iterating on bitmap bitmap. The loop must start with
       hwloc_bitmap_foreach_begin() and end with hwloc_bitmap_foreach_end() followed by a
       terminating ';'.

       id is the loop variable; it should be an unsigned int. The first iteration will set id to
       the lowest index in the bitmap. Successive iterations will iterate through, in order, all
       remaining indexes set in the bitmap. To be specific: each iteration will return a value
       for id such that hwloc_bitmap_isset(bitmap, id) is true.

       The assert prevents the loop from being infinite if the bitmap is infinitely set.

   #define hwloc_bitmap_foreach_end()
       End of loop macro iterating on a bitmap. Needs a terminating ';'.

       See also
           hwloc_bitmap_foreach_begin()

Typedef Documentation

   typedef struct hwloc_bitmap_s* hwloc_bitmap_t
       Set of bits represented as an opaque pointer to an internal bitmap.

   typedef const struct hwloc_bitmap_s* hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       a non-modifiable hwloc_bitmap_t

Function Documentation

   int hwloc_bitmap_allbut (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned id)
       Fill the bitmap and clear the index id.

   hwloc_bitmap_t hwloc_bitmap_alloc (void)
       Allocate a new empty bitmap.

       Returns
           A valid bitmap or NULL.

       The bitmap should be freed by a corresponding call to hwloc_bitmap_free().

   hwloc_bitmap_t hwloc_bitmap_alloc_full (void)
       Allocate a new full bitmap.

       Returns
           A valid bitmap or NULL.

       The bitmap should be freed by a corresponding call to hwloc_bitmap_free().

   int hwloc_bitmap_and (hwloc_bitmap_t res, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1, hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       bitmap2)
       And bitmaps bitmap1 and bitmap2 and store the result in bitmap res. res can be the same as
       bitmap1 or bitmap2

   int hwloc_bitmap_andnot (hwloc_bitmap_t res, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1,
       hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap2)
       And bitmap bitmap1 and the negation of bitmap2 and store the result in bitmap res. res can
       be the same as bitmap1 or bitmap2

   int hwloc_bitmap_asprintf (char ** strp, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Stringify a bitmap into a newly allocated string.

       Returns
           0 on success, -1 on error.

   int hwloc_bitmap_clr (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned id)
       Remove index id from bitmap bitmap.

   int hwloc_bitmap_clr_range (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned begin, int end)
       Remove indexes from begin to end in bitmap bitmap. If end is -1, the range is infinite.

   int hwloc_bitmap_compare (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap2)
       Compare bitmaps bitmap1 and bitmap2 in lexicographic order. Lexicographic comparison of
       bitmaps, starting for their highest indexes. Compare last indexes first, then second, etc.
       The empty bitmap is considered lower than anything.

       Returns
           -1 if bitmap1 is considered smaller than bitmap2.

           1 if bitmap1 is considered larger than bitmap2.

           0 if bitmaps are equal (contrary to hwloc_bitmap_compare_first()).

       For instance comparing binary bitmaps 0011 and 0110 returns -1 (hence 0011 is considered
       smaller than 0110). Comparing 00101 and 01010 returns -1 too.

       Note
           This is different from the non-existing hwloc_bitmap_compare_last() which would only
           compare the highest index of each bitmap.

   int hwloc_bitmap_compare_first (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap2)
       Compare bitmaps bitmap1 and bitmap2 using their lowest index. A bitmap is considered
       smaller if its least significant bit is smaller. The empty bitmap is considered higher
       than anything (because its least significant bit does not exist).

       Returns
           -1 if bitmap1 is considered smaller than bitmap2.

           1 if bitmap1 is considered larger than bitmap2.

       For instance comparing binary bitmaps 0011 and 0110 returns -1 (hence 0011 is considered
       smaller than 0110) because least significant bit of 0011 (0001) is smaller than least
       significant bit of 0110 (0010). Comparing 01001 and 00110 would also return -1 for the
       same reason.

       Returns
           0 if bitmaps are considered equal, even if they are not strictly equal. They just need
           to have the same least significant bit. For instance, comparing binary bitmaps 0010
           and 0110 returns 0 because they have the same least significant bit.

   int hwloc_bitmap_copy (hwloc_bitmap_t dst, hwloc_const_bitmap_t src)
       Copy the contents of bitmap src into the already allocated bitmap dst.

   hwloc_bitmap_t hwloc_bitmap_dup (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Duplicate bitmap bitmap by allocating a new bitmap and copying bitmap contents. If bitmap
       is NULL, NULL is returned.

   void hwloc_bitmap_fill (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Fill bitmap bitmap with all possible indexes (even if those objects don't exist or are
       otherwise unavailable)

   int hwloc_bitmap_first (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Compute the first index (least significant bit) in bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           the first index set in bitmap.

           -1 if bitmap is empty.

   int hwloc_bitmap_first_unset (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Compute the first unset index (least significant bit) in bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           the first unset index in bitmap.

           -1 if bitmap is full.

   void hwloc_bitmap_free (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Free bitmap bitmap. If bitmap is NULL, no operation is performed.

   int hwloc_bitmap_from_ith_ulong (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned i, unsigned long mask)
       Setup bitmap bitmap from unsigned long mask used as i -th subset.

   int hwloc_bitmap_from_ulong (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned long mask)
       Setup bitmap bitmap from unsigned long mask.

   int hwloc_bitmap_from_ulongs (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned nr, const unsigned long * masks)
       Setup bitmap bitmap from unsigned longs masks used as first nr subsets.

   int hwloc_bitmap_intersects (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap2)
       Test whether bitmaps bitmap1 and bitmap2 intersects.

       Returns
           1 if bitmaps intersect, 0 otherwise.

       Note
           The empty bitmap does not intersect any other bitmap.

   int hwloc_bitmap_isequal (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap2)
       Test whether bitmap bitmap1 is equal to bitmap bitmap2.

       Returns
           1 if bitmaps are equal, 0 otherwise.

   int hwloc_bitmap_isfull (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Test whether bitmap bitmap is completely full.

       Returns
           1 if bitmap is full, 0 otherwise.

       Note
           A full bitmap is always infinitely set.

   int hwloc_bitmap_isincluded (hwloc_const_bitmap_t sub_bitmap, hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       super_bitmap)
       Test whether bitmap sub_bitmap is part of bitmap super_bitmap.

       Returns
           1 if sub_bitmap is included in super_bitmap, 0 otherwise.

       Note
           The empty bitmap is considered included in any other bitmap.

   int hwloc_bitmap_isset (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned id)
       Test whether index id is part of bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           1 if the bit at index id is set in bitmap bitmap, 0 otherwise.

   int hwloc_bitmap_iszero (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Test whether bitmap bitmap is empty.

       Returns
           1 if bitmap is empty, 0 otherwise.

   int hwloc_bitmap_last (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Compute the last index (most significant bit) in bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           the last index set in bitmap.

           -1 if bitmap is empty, or if bitmap is infinitely set.

   int hwloc_bitmap_last_unset (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Compute the last unset index (most significant bit) in bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           the last index unset in bitmap.

           -1 if bitmap is full, or if bitmap is not infinitely set.

   int hwloc_bitmap_list_asprintf (char ** strp, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Stringify a bitmap into a newly allocated list string.

       Returns
           0 on success, -1 on error.

   int hwloc_bitmap_list_snprintf (char *restrict buf, size_t buflen, hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       bitmap)
       Stringify a bitmap in the list format. Lists are comma-separated indexes or ranges. Ranges
       are dash separated indexes. The last range may not have an ending indexes if the bitmap is
       infinitely set.

       Up to buflen characters may be written in buffer buf.

       If buflen is 0, buf may safely be NULL.

       Returns
           the number of characters that were actually written if not truncating, or that would
           have been written (not including the ending \0).

   int hwloc_bitmap_list_sscanf (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, const char *restrict string)
       Parse a list string and stores it in bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           0 on success, -1 on error.

   int hwloc_bitmap_next (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap, int prev)
       Compute the next index in bitmap bitmap which is after index prev.

       Returns
           the first index set in bitmap if prev is -1.

           the next index set in bitmap if prev is not -1.

           -1 if no index with higher index is set in bitmap.

   int hwloc_bitmap_next_unset (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap, int prev)
       Compute the next unset index in bitmap bitmap which is after index prev.

       Returns
           the first index unset in bitmap if prev is -1.

           the next index unset in bitmap if prev is not -1.

           -1 if no index with higher index is unset in bitmap.

   int hwloc_bitmap_not (hwloc_bitmap_t res, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Negate bitmap bitmap and store the result in bitmap res. res can be the same as bitmap

   int hwloc_bitmap_nr_ulongs (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Return the number of unsigned longs required for storing bitmap bitmap entirely. This is
       the number of contiguous unsigned longs from the very first bit of the bitmap (even if
       unset) up to the last set bit. This is useful for knowing the nr parameter to pass to
       hwloc_bitmap_to_ulongs() (or which calls to hwloc_bitmap_to_ith_ulong() are needed) to
       entirely convert a bitmap into multiple unsigned longs.

       When called on the output of hwloc_topology_get_topology_cpuset(), the returned number is
       large enough for all cpusets of the topology.

       Returns
           the number of unsigned longs required.

           -1 if bitmap is infinite.

   int hwloc_bitmap_only (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned id)
       Empty the bitmap bitmap and add bit id.

   int hwloc_bitmap_or (hwloc_bitmap_t res, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1, hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       bitmap2)
       Or bitmaps bitmap1 and bitmap2 and store the result in bitmap res. res can be the same as
       bitmap1 or bitmap2

   int hwloc_bitmap_set (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned id)
       Add index id in bitmap bitmap.

   int hwloc_bitmap_set_ith_ulong (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned i, unsigned long mask)
       Replace i -th subset of bitmap bitmap with unsigned long mask.

   int hwloc_bitmap_set_range (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned begin, int end)
       Add indexes from begin to end in bitmap bitmap. If end is -1, the range is infinite.

   int hwloc_bitmap_singlify (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Keep a single index among those set in bitmap bitmap. May be useful before binding so that
       the process does not have a chance of migrating between multiple processors in the
       original mask. Instead of running the task on any PU inside the given CPU set, the
       operating system scheduler will be forced to run it on a single of these PUs. It avoids a
       migration overhead and cache-line ping-pongs between PUs.

       Note
           This function is NOT meant to distribute multiple processes within a single CPU set.
           It always return the same single bit when called multiple times on the same input set.
           hwloc_distrib() may be used for generating CPU sets to distribute multiple tasks below
           a single multi-PU object.

           This function cannot be applied to an object set directly. It should be applied to a
           copy (which may be obtained with hwloc_bitmap_dup()).

   int hwloc_bitmap_snprintf (char *restrict buf, size_t buflen, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Stringify a bitmap. Up to buflen characters may be written in buffer buf.

       If buflen is 0, buf may safely be NULL.

       Returns
           the number of characters that were actually written if not truncating, or that would
           have been written (not including the ending \0).

   int hwloc_bitmap_sscanf (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, const char *restrict string)
       Parse a bitmap string and stores it in bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           0 on success, -1 on error.

   int hwloc_bitmap_taskset_asprintf (char ** strp, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Stringify a bitmap into a newly allocated taskset-specific string.

       Returns
           0 on success, -1 on error.

   int hwloc_bitmap_taskset_snprintf (char *restrict buf, size_t buflen, hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       bitmap)
       Stringify a bitmap in the taskset-specific format. The taskset command manipulates bitmap
       strings that contain a single (possible very long) hexadecimal number starting with 0x.

       Up to buflen characters may be written in buffer buf.

       If buflen is 0, buf may safely be NULL.

       Returns
           the number of characters that were actually written if not truncating, or that would
           have been written (not including the ending \0).

   int hwloc_bitmap_taskset_sscanf (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap, const char *restrict string)
       Parse a taskset-specific bitmap string and stores it in bitmap bitmap.

       Returns
           0 on success, -1 on error.

   unsigned long hwloc_bitmap_to_ith_ulong (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned i)
       Convert the i -th subset of bitmap bitmap into unsigned long mask.

   unsigned long hwloc_bitmap_to_ulong (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Convert the beginning part of bitmap bitmap into unsigned long mask.

   int hwloc_bitmap_to_ulongs (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap, unsigned nr, unsigned long * masks)
       Convert the first nr subsets of bitmap bitmap into the array of nr unsigned long masks. nr
       may be determined earlier with hwloc_bitmap_nr_ulongs().

       Returns
           0

   int hwloc_bitmap_weight (hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Compute the 'weight' of bitmap bitmap (i.e., number of indexes that are in the bitmap).

       Returns
           the number of indexes that are in the bitmap.

           -1 if bitmap is infinitely set.

   int hwloc_bitmap_xor (hwloc_bitmap_t res, hwloc_const_bitmap_t bitmap1, hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       bitmap2)
       Xor bitmaps bitmap1 and bitmap2 and store the result in bitmap res. res can be the same as
       bitmap1 or bitmap2

   void hwloc_bitmap_zero (hwloc_bitmap_t bitmap)
       Empty the bitmap bitmap.
