46/** \page TimingMacros Timing macros for runtime measurements
47
48<b>\#include</b> <vigra/timing.hxx>
49
50These macros allow to perform execution speed measurements. Results are reported
51in <i>milliseconds</i>.
52However, note that timings below 1 msec are generally subject to round-off errors.
53Under LINUX, you can \#define VIGRA_HIRES_TIMING to get better
54accuracy, but this requires linking against librt.
55
56Basic usage:
57\code
58 void time_it()
59 {
60 USETICTOC
61
62 TIC
63 ... code to be timed
64 TOC
65 ... untimed code
66 TIC
67 ... other code to be timed
68 TOC
69 }
70\endcode
71
72Instead of TOC, which outputs the time difference to std::cerr,
73you may use TOCN (the time difference in <i>msec</i> as a double)
74or TOCS (the time difference as a std::string).
75
76Alternatively, you can perform nested timing like so:
77\code
78 void time_it()
79 {
80 USE_NESTED_TICTOC
81
82 TICPUSH
83 ... code to be timed
84 TICPUSH
85 ... nested code to be timed
86 TOC print time for nested code
87 ... more code to be timed
88 TOC print total time
89 }
90\endcode

94/** \file timing.hxx Timing macros for runtime measurements
95
96 This header defines timing macros for runtime measurements. See \ref TimingMacros for examples.
97
98 \def USETICTOC
99 Enable timing using TIC/TOC* pairs. This macro defines temporary storage for the timing data, so it needs to precede the TIC/TOC macros in their context.
100 \hideinitializer
101
102 \def USE_NESTED_TICTOC
103 Enable timing using TICPUSH/TOC* pairs. This macro defines temporary storage for the timing data, so it needs to precede the TIC/TOC macros in their context.
104 \hideinitializer
105
106 \def TIC
107 Start timing. Requires USE_TICTOC to be defined in the current context.
108 \hideinitializer
109
110 \def TOC
111 Stop timing and output result (the time difference w.r.t. the last TIC or TICPUSH
112 instance) to std::cerr.
113 \hideinitializer
114
115 \def TICPUSH
116 Start timing, possibly a nested block of code within some other timed code block.
117 Requires USE_NESTED_TICTOC to be defined once in the current context.
118 \hideinitializer
119
120 \def TOCN
121 Stop timing. This macro evaluates to the time difference (w.r.t. the last TIC
122 or TICPUSH) in msec as a double.
123 \hideinitializer
124
125 \def TOCS
126 Stop timing. This macro evaluates to the time difference (w.r.t. the last TIC
127 or TICPUSH) as a std::string (including units).
128 \hideinitializer
129
130 \def TICTOCLOOP_BEGIN(inner_repetitions,outer_repetitions)
131 Executes the code block up to TICTOCLOOP_END outer_repetitions x
132 inner_repetitions times. The measurement is averaged over the
133 inner_repetitions, and the best result of the outer_repetitions is
134 reported to std::cerr.
135 \hideinitializer
136
137 \def TICTOCLOOP_END
138 Ends the timing loop started with the TICTOCLOOP_BEGIN macro
139 and outputs the result.
140 \hideinitializer
