PAPI_overflow on a child process

[ercoppa]

Hi, I want to monitor (e.g., sampling the program counter) a child process (e.g., started with fork() but with inside an execve() in order to run an external binary). Is it possible to use PAPI_overflow and PAPI_attach at the same time? In my experience the mix of these two doesn't seem to work. It this true?

Regards,
Emilio
