NAME¶

TAU_PROFILE_CREATE_TIMER - Creates a timer for C

SYNOPSIS¶

C:

TAU_PROFILE_CREATE_TIMER(Profiler timer);

DESCRIPTION¶

Because C89 does not allow mixed code and declarations, TAU_PROFILE_TIMER can only be used once in a function. To declare two timers in a C function, use TAU_PROFILE_DECLARE_TIMER and TAU_PROFILE_CREATE_TIMER.

EXAMPLE¶

C :

int f1(void) {


  TAU_PROFILE_DECLARE_TIMER(t1);


  TAU_PROFILE_DECLARE_TIMER(t2);


  TAU_PROFILE_CREATE_TIMER(t1, "timer1", "", TAU_USER);


  TAU_PROFILE_CREATE_TIMER(t2, "timer2", "", TAU_USER);


  TAU_PROFILE_START(t1);


  ...


  TAU_PROFILE_START(t2);


  ...


  TAU_PROFILE_STOP(t2);


  TAU_PROFILE_STOP(t1);


  return 0;
}
