We could write something using the `gettimeofday' system call where available but the overhead of the system call might be too high. In case a platform supports timers in the hardware the following macros and types must be defined: - HP_TIMING_AVAIL: test for availability. - HP_TIMING_INLINE: this macro is non-zero if the functionality is not implemented using function calls but instead uses some inlined code which might simply consist of a few assembler instructions. We have to know this since we might want to use the macros here in places where we cannot make function calls. - hp_timing_t: This is the type for variables used to store the time values. - HP_TIMING_NOW: place timestamp for current time in variable given as parameter. - HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT: do whatever is necessary to be able to use the HP_TIMING_DIFF macro. - HP_TIMING_DIFF: compute difference between two times and store it in a third. Source and destination might overlap. - HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT: add time difference to another variable, without being thread-safe. - HP_TIMING_PRINT: write decimal representation of the timing value into the given string. This operation need not be inline even though HP_TIMING_INLINE is specified. */ /* Provide dummy definitions. */ #define HP_TIMING_AVAIL (0) #define HP_TIMING_INLINE (0) typedef int hp_timing_t; #define HP_TIMING_NOW(var) #define HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT() #define HP_TIMING_DIFF(Diff, Start, End) #define HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT(Sum, Diff) #define HP_TIMING_PRINT(Buf, Len, Val) /* Since this implementation is not available we tell the user about it. */ #define HP_TIMING_NONAVAIL 1 #endif /* hp-timing.h */
