\section{GraphBLAS Options ({\sf GrB\_get} and {\sf GrB\_set})}
\label{options}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

GraphBLAS includes two methods, \verb'GrB_get' and \verb'GrB_set'
that allow the user to query GraphBLAS objects and change their state.  These
two methods are polymorphic wrappers for a suite of methods for each object.

The general polymorphic signatures of these methods are given below:

{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
    GrB_Info GrB_get (object, value, int field) ;
    GrB_Info GrB_set (object, value, int field) ;
    GrB_Info GrB_set (object, void *value, int field, size_t s) ; \end{verbatim}}

\noindent
where \verb'object' can be any GraphBLAS object.  The \verb'value' can be a
\verb'GrB_Scalar', an \verb'int32_t' (or a pointer to \verb'int32_t' for
\verb'GrB_get'), a string (\verb'char *'), or a \verb'void *' pointer.  In the
latter case, \verb'GrB_set' requires an additional parameter (\verb'size_t s')
that specifies the size of the object pointed to by \verb'void *value'.

The non-polymorphic names have the following format, where \verb'[OBJ]'
is any GraphBLAS object. 

{\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
    GrB_Info GrB_[OBJ]_get_[KIND] (object, value, int field) ;
    GrB_Info GrB_[OBJ]_set_[KIND] (object, value, int field) ;
    GrB_Info GrB_[OBJ]_set_VOID (object, void *value, int field, size_t s) ; \end{verbatim}}

The \verb'[KIND]' suffix defines the type of second parameter, and can be:
    \verb'Scalar' (for \verb'GrB_Scalar'),
    \verb'String' (for \verb'char *'),
    \verb'INT32' (for \verb'int32_t'), and
    \verb'SIZE' (for \verb'size_t *' for \verb'GrB_get' only), and
    \verb'VOID' (for \verb'void *').

The tables below list all the valid fields that can be used for each object. 
Each table contains four columns:  (1) the \verb'int',
(2) a column labelled R/W, (3) a column defining the C type, and a description.
For the R/W column:

\begin{itemize}
\item If the R/W column of a table is R, then the value can be read by \verb'GrB_get'
    but not written by \verb'GrB_set'.
\item R/W means that both \verb'GrB_get' and \verb'GrB_set' can be used any number of times,
    with different values.
\item R/W1 means that \verb'GrB_get' can be done multiple times,
    but \verb'GrB_set' can be used only once.
    Subsequent calls to \verb'GrB_set' return the error code \verb'GrB_ALREADY_SET'.
\item W means that only \verb'GrB_set' can be used (any number of times),
    but \verb'GrB_get' cannot be done.
\end{itemize}

The second parameter (\verb'value') of \verb'GrB_get' and \verb'GrB_set' can take on several
different C types, and it can also be a \verb'GrB_Scalar' that holds a value
with the given C type (or that can be typecasted to the given C type):

\begin{itemize}
\item \verb'int32_t': 
    For \verb'GrB_set' the \verb'value' parameter is \verb'int32_t'.
    For \verb'GrB_get' the \verb'value' parameter is \verb'int32_t *.'
    The following example sets the global number of threads, and then
    retrieves that \verb'value' into \verb'nthreads'.

    {\footnotesize
    \begin{verbatim}
        GrB_set (GrB_GLOBAL, 8, GxB_NTHREADS) ;
        int32_t nthreads ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, &nthreads, GxB_NTHREADS) ;
        printf ("nthreads: %d\n", nthreads) ; \end{verbatim} }

    A \verb'GrB_Scalar' can also be used for an \verb'int32_t' \verb'value'.
    For \verb'GrB_set', the scalar must not be empty.
    Here is the same example but using a \verb'GrB_Scalar' instead:

    {\footnotesize
    \begin{verbatim}
        GrB_Scalar s ;
        GrB_Scalar_new (s, GrB_INT32) ;
        GrB_Scalar_setElement (s, 8) ;
        GrB_set (GrB_GLOBAL, s, GxB_NTHREADS) ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, s, GxB_NTHREADS) ;
        int32_t nthreads ;
        GrB_Scalar_extractElement (&nthreads, s) ;
        printf ("nthreads: %d\n", nthreads) ; \end{verbatim} }

\item \verb'char *':
    The \verb'value' parameter is \verb'char *' for both \verb'GrB_get' and
    \verb'GrB_set'.  A \verb'GrB_Scalar' cannot be used.  The size of the
    string required for \verb'GrB_get' is given by using a \verb'size_t *'
    parameter with the same field.  For example:

    {\footnotesize
    \begin{verbatim}
        size_t len ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, &len, GrB_NAME) ;
        char *name = malloc (len) ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, name, GrB_NAME) ;
        printf ("The library is: %s\n", name) ;
        free (name) ; \end{verbatim} }

    To get the current JIT C compiler and then set it to something else:

    {\footnotesize
    \begin{verbatim}
        size_t len ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, &len, GxB_JIT_C_COMPILER_NAME) ;
        char *compiler = malloc (len) ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, compiler, GxB_JIT_C_COMPILER_NAME) ;
        printf ("The current JIT compiler is: %s\n", compiler) ;
        GrB_set (GrB_GLOBAL, "gcc", GxB_JIT_C_COMPILER_NAME) ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, &len, GxB_JIT_C_COMPILER_NAME) ;
        char *new_compiler = malloc (len) ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, new_compiler, GxB_JIT_C_COMPILER_NAME) ;
        printf ("The new JIT compiler is: %s\n", new_compiler) ;
        free (compiler) ;
        free (new_compiler) ; \end{verbatim} }

\item Other scalar data types (typically \verb'double'):
    Only a \verb'GrB_Scalar' can be used.  When using \verb'GrB_set' with a
    \verb'GrB_Scalar', the scalar cannot be empty.  For example, to get then
    set the global \verb'GxB_HYPER_SWITCH' parameter to 0.3: 

    {\footnotesize
    \begin{verbatim}
        GrB_Scalar s ;
        GrB_Scalar_new (s, GrB_FP64) ;
        GrB_get (GrB_GLOBAL, s, GxB_HYPER_SWITCH) ;
        double hs ;
        GrB_Scalar_extractElement (&hs, s) ;
        printf ("current hyper_switch: %g\n", hs) ;
        GrB_Scalar_setElement (s, 0.3) ;
        GrB_set (GrB_GLOBAL, s, GxB_HYPER_SWITCH) ; \end{verbatim} }

\item \verb'void *':
    This type is used for all other cases.
    For \verb'GrB_get', the array must have the right size, just like a
    \verb'char *' string.  Use the same field first, but with
    \verb'size_t *value' as the second parameter to obtain the size of the
    \verb'void *' array, then use \verb'GrB_get' with a \verb'void *' array of
    the right size.  In some cases, the size is always the same.  For example,
    to query the operator of a monoid:

    {\footnotesize
    \begin{verbatim}
        GrB_BinaryOp op ;
        GrB_get (GrB_PLUS_MONOID_FP64, (void *) &op, GxB_MONOID_OPERATOR) ;
        assert (op == GrB_PLUS_FP64) ; \end{verbatim} }

    For \verb'GrB_set', a fourth parameter is required to tell GraphBLAS the
    size of the input array.
