These routine have been deprecated and may be removed in a future Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) release. Please refer topmSetDebug(3) andpmClearDebug(3) for replacement functionality.__pmParseDebugparsesspec assuming it to be a comma separated list of PCP debug flags. Each flag may be specified as an integer or the trailing portion of the symbolic name of the corresponding flag as reported bypmdbg(1). Symbolic names are stripped of the ``DBG_TRACE_'' prefix and may appear in either case. As a special case, the values ``-1'' and ``ALL'' are treated as synonyms for turning on all bits except the sign bit in the result, i.e.INT_MAXfrom<limits.h>. For example the debug optionfetchis defined in the output frompmdbg(3) with the-Loption and may be specified inspec as2,FETCHorfetch.__pmSetDebugBitsmay be used to set the bit-fields directly using the encoding invalue. The effect is additive, so consecutive calls to__pmSetDebugBitswill set the conjunction of the bits in thevalue arguments. To clear the bit-fields, seepmClearDebug(3).
If successful,__pmParseDebugreturns the value computed by the bit-wise ``or'' of each flag in thespec, suitable for assigning to the global debug trace control variablepmDebug. Otherwise the return value is less than 0 to indicate a parsing error.
