Domain API
A
enables tagging trace data for different modules or libraries in a program. Domains are specified by unique character strings, for example
domain
TBB.Internal.Control
.
Each domain is represented by an opaque
__itt_domain
structure, which you can use to tag each of the ITT API calls in your code.
You can selectively enable or disable specific domains in your application, in order to filter the subsets of instrumentation that are collected into the output trace capture file.
Upon the first start, the application registers its domains in a configuration file of the Intel® GPA Graphics Monitor. By default, upon the first start of the application all the domains are enabled. To enable or disable domains for subsequent starts of the application, do the following before the start:
- Open the Graphics Monitor Launcher Screen.
- Click theOptionsbutton.
- Click theTracingtab.
- Turn on or off theUser Domainstoggle buttons.
The overhead of a disabled domain is a single
if
check.
To create a domain, use the following primitives:
__itt_domain *ITTAPI__itt_domain_create
A
( const char *name)__itt_domain *ITTAPI __itt_domain_createW ( const wchar_t *name)
Or use the macro in the following way:
__itt_domain *ITTAPI __itt_domain_create (__TEXT("TBB.Internal.Control"))
For a domain name, the URI naming style is recommended, for example,
com.my_company.my_application
. The set of domains is expected to be static over the application's execution time, therefore, there is no mechanism to destroy a domain.
Any domain can be accessed by any thread in the process, regardless of which thread created the domain. This call is thread-safe.
Parameters of the primitives:
[in] | name | Name of domain
|
Usage Example
#include "ittnotify.h"
__itt_domain* pD = __itt_domain_create(__TEXT("My Domain") );
