#include <xtend/time.h> -lxtend
SYNOPSIS
int xt_tic(struct timeval *start_time, struct rusage *start_usage)
ARGUMENTS
start_time A struct timeval structure populated by xt_tic()
DESCRIPTION
xt_tic() records the current time in a struct timeval structure. It is a simple wrapper around gettimeofday(2) meant for use with xt_toc(3), which reports elapsed time since the xt_tic() call.The xt_tic() and xt_toc() functions are used to accurately determine the elapsed time of a segment of code, such as a loop that is suspected to be costly. xt_tic() is inserted into the program just before the code and xt_toc() immediately after.
RETURN VALUES
The exit status of gettimeofday(2)EXAMPLES
struct timeval start_time;
struct rusage start_usage;
xt_tic(&start_time, &start_usage);
// Code for which elapsed time is to be measured
for (c = 0; c < bignum; ++c)
{
...
}
xt_toc(stderr, "Elapsed time for loop:n", &start_time, &start_usage);
