How to compile Code having PCM API?

[totochan1985]

There is a piece of code (c_example.c) that comes with the PCM installation. Can someone tell me how to compile that i.e which libraries it needs to be linked against. Below is the code.

#include "cpucounters.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int pcm_getcpu()
{
        int id = -1;
        asm volatile (
                "rdtscp\n\t"
                "mov %%ecx, %0\n\t":
                "=r" (id) :: "%rax", "%rcx", "%rdx");
        // processor ID is in ECX: https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/rdtscp
        // Linux encodes the NUMA node starting at bit 12, so remove the NUMA
        // bits when returning the CPU integer by masking with 0xFFF.
        return id & 0xFFF;
}

struct {
        int (*pcm_c_build_core_event)(uint8_t id, const char * argv);
        int (*pcm_c_init)();
        void (*pcm_c_start)();
        void (*pcm_c_stop)();
        uint64_t (*pcm_c_get_cycles)(uint32_t core_id);
        uint64_t (*pcm_c_get_instr)(uint32_t core_id);
        uint64_t (*pcm_c_get_core_event)(uint32_t core_id, uint32_t event_id);
} PCM;

The example needs to be linked against libpcm. This should be everything you need.
You might also want to have a look at the Makefile of the project. It includes the rules to compile and link the example.
