28 /* The macros defined here use the timestamp counter in IA-64. They
29 provide a very accurate way to measure the time with very little
30 overhead. The time values themself have no real meaning, only
31 differences are interesting.
33 The list of macros we need includes the following:
35 - HP_TIMING_AVAIL: test for availability.
37 - HP_TIMING_INLINE: this macro is non-zero if the functionality is not
38 implemented using function calls but instead uses some inlined code
39 which might simply consist of a few assembler instructions. We have to
40 know this since we might want to use the macros here in places where we
41 cannot make function calls.
43 - hp_timing_t: This is the type for variables used to store the time
44 values.
46 - HP_TIMING_ZERO: clear `hp_timing_t' object.
48 - HP_TIMING_NOW: place timestamp for current time in variable given as
49 parameter.
51 - HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT: do whatever is necessary to be able to use the
52 HP_TIMING_DIFF macro.
54 - HP_TIMING_DIFF: compute difference between two times and store it
55 in a third. Source and destination might overlap.
57 - HP_TIMING_ACCUM: add time difference to another variable. This might
58 be a bit more complicated to implement for some platforms as the
59 operation should be thread-safe and 64bit arithmetic on 32bit platforms
60 is not.
62 - HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT: this is the variant for situations where we know
63 there are no threads involved.
65 - HP_TIMING_PRINT: write decimal representation of the timing value into
66 the given string. This operation need not be inline even though
67 HP_TIMING_INLINE is specified.
