Upgrading to v2.0 API

Brice Goglin edited this page Sep 28, 2015 · 45 revisions

To detect whether your building against hwloc 2.0.0 or later:

#if HWLOC_API_VERSION >= 0x20000
...
#endif

Here is a list of recommended ways to work-around API changes:

HWLOC_OBJ_CACHE

Replace with HWLOC_OBJ_L1CACHE, ..., HWLOC_OBJ_L5CACHE, HWLOC_OBJ_L1ICACHE, ..., HWLOC_OBJ_L3ICACHE. hwloc_get_cache_type_depth() is not really needed to disambiguate cache types anymore. hwloc_obj_type_is_cache(), hwloc_obj_type_is_dcache() and hwloc_obj_type_is_icache() may be used to check whether a given type is a cache, data/unified cache or instruction cache.

hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object_by_cpuset();

Replaced with hwloc_topology_alloc_group_object() and hwloc_topology_insert_group_object()

hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object_by_parent();

Replaced with hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object()

hwloc_topology_set_fsroot();

Removed. The HWLOC_FSROOT environment variable is still supported for the same behavior.

hwloc_obj_type_sscanf();

Pass an union hwloc_obj_attr_u instead of specific attributes. And get back attributes from the union cache or group fields.

hwloc_fill_object_sets();

Renamed into hwloc_obj_add_children_sets().

hwloc_obj_snprintf();

Removed, long-deprecated by hwloc_obj_type_snprintf() and hwloc_obj_attr_snprintf()

hwloc_topology_ignore_type_keep_structure();
hwloc_topology_ignore_all_keep_structure();

The meaning has changed (only entire levels may be ignored, instead of single objects), the old behavior is not available anymore.

obj->online_cpuset

The field has been removed from hwloc_obj_t. Offline are simply listed in the complete_cpuset as previously.

hwloc_topology_set_custom();
hwloc_custom_insert_topology();
hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent();
hwloc-assembler
hwloc-assembler-remote

The custom interface is not available anymore. Topologies always start with object with valid cpusets and nodesets.

HWLOC_MEMBIND_REPLICATE

Not available anymore (no supported operating system supports it).

obj->os_level

The object field has been removed.
