PAPI_create_eventset() creates a new EventSet pointed to by
EventSet, which must be initialized to
PAPI_NULL before calling this routine. The user may then add hardware events
to the event set by calling
PAPI_add_event (3)
or similar routines.
NOTE: PAPI-C uses a late binding model to bind EventSets to components. When an EventSet is first created it is not bound to a component. This will cause
some API calls that modify EventSet options to fail. An EventSet can be bound to
a component explicitly by calling
PAPI_assign_eventset_component (3)
or implicitly by calling
PAPI_add_event (3)
or similar routines.
