# ROCprofiler-SDK runtime intercept tables
While tools commonly leverage the callback or buffer tracing services for tracing the HIP, HSA, and ROCTx
APIs, ROCprofiler-SDK also provides access to the raw API dispatch tables.
## Forward declaration of public C API function
All the aforementioned APIs are designed similar to the following sample:
```cpp
extern "C"
{
// forward declaration of public C API function
int
foo(int) __attribute__((visibility("default")));
}
```
## Internal implementation of API function
```cpp
namespace impl
{
int
foo(int val)
{
// real implementation
return (2 * val);
}
}
```
## Dispatch table implementation
```cpp
namespace impl
{
struct dispatch_table
{
int (*foo_fn)(int) = nullptr;
};
// Invoked once: populates the dispatch_table with function pointers to implementation
dispatch_table*&
construct_dispatch_table()
{
static dispatch_table* tbl = new dispatch_table{};
tbl->foo_fn = impl::foo;
// In between, ROCprofiler-SDK gets passed the pointer
// to the dispatch table and has the opportunity to wrap the function
// pointers for interception
return tbl;
}
// Constructs dispatch table and stores it in static variable
dispatch_table*
get_dispatch_table()
{
static dispatch_table*& tbl = construct_dispatch_table();
return tbl;
}
} // namespace impl
```
## Implementation of public C API function
```cpp
extern "C"
{
// implementation of public C API function
int
foo(int val)
{
return impl::get_dispatch_table()->foo_fn(val);
}
}
```
## Dispatch table chaining
ROCprofiler-SDK can save the original values of the function pointers such as `foo_fn` in `impl::construct_dispatch_table()` and install its own function pointers in its place. This results in the public C API function `foo` calling into the ROCprofiler-SDK function pointer, which in turn, calls the original function pointer to `impl::foo`. This phenomenon is named chaining. Once ROCprofiler-SDK
makes necessary modifications to the dispatch table, tools requesting access to the raw dispatch table via `rocprofiler_at_intercept_table_registration`, are provided the pointer to the dispatch table.
For an example of dispatch table chaining, see [samples/intercept_table](https://github.com/ROCm/rocprofiler-sdk-internal/tree/amd-staging/samples/intercept_table).
