CAVEAT

       This documentation is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot
       (PCP) developer use.

       These interfaces are not part of the PCP APIs that are guaranteed
       to remain fixed across releases, and they may not work, or may
       provide different semantics at some point in the future.

DESCRIPTION

       Checks two observations of the same instance domain are
       identical.  The code assumes (a) old->indom == new->indom and (b)
       both the instance domains are sorted in ascending internal
       instance identifier sequence; see pmaSortInDom(3) to see how to
       make the second condition true.

       pmaSameInDom returns 1 if they are the same, returns 0 otherwise.

       The instance domains are considered different if any of the
       following hold:

       1.  old->numinst != new->numinst

       2.  For some i, old->instlist[i] != new->instlist[i]

       3.  For some i, the strings pointed to by old->namelist[i] and
           new->instlist[i] are not identical

       For Version 3 archives with "delta indom" support, it is more
       likely that pmaDeltaInDom(3) is more useful than pmaSameInDom, as
       the former combines the check for two observations of an instance
       domain being the same with the optional creation of the "delta
       indom" format if that is the most efficient encoding.
