I know this is beating a dead horse, but are you guys *really* that
against just linking against libpfm4?
Instead of (to use your example):
perf record -e cpu/event=0x34,umask=0x01,inv,cmask=2
Insn't
perf record -e nhm::UNC_CBO_CACHE_LOOKUP:M:i=1:cmask=2
much nicer?
And the code that translates that to bits for you already exists in a nice
library form. And it supports Pentium 4 already.
In PAPI we're finally moving to all string-based event names simply
because trying to create cross-platform ways of specifying bits like you
are just didn't work very well.
