  24 /* There are no generic definitions for the times.  We could write something
  25    using the `gettimeofday' system call where available but the overhead of
  26    the system call might be too high.
  27
  28    In case a platform supports timers in the hardware the following macros
  29    and types must be defined:
  30
  31    - HP_TIMING_AVAIL: test for availability.
  32
  33    - HP_TIMING_INLINE: this macro is non-zero if the functionality is not
  34      implemented using function calls but instead uses some inlined code
  35      which might simply consist of a few assembler instructions.  We have to
  36      know this since we might want to use the macros here in places where we
  37      cannot make function calls.
  38
  39    - hp_timing_t: This is the type for variables used to store the time
  40      values.
  41
  42    - HP_TIMING_ZERO: clear `hp_timing_t' object.
  43
  44    - HP_TIMING_NOW: place timestamp for current time in variable given as
  45      parameter.
  46
  47    - HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT: do whatever is necessary to be able to use the
  48      HP_TIMING_DIFF macro.
  49
  50    - HP_TIMING_DIFF: compute difference between two times and store it
  51      in a third.  Source and destination might overlap.
  52
  53    - HP_TIMING_ACCUM: add time difference to another variable.  This might
  54      be a bit more complicated to implement for some platforms as the
  55      operation should be thread-safe and 64bit arithmetic on 32bit platforms
  56      is not.
  57
  58    - HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT: this is the variant for situations where we know
  59      there are no threads involved.
  60
  61    - HP_TIMING_PRINT: write decimal representation of the timing value into
  62      the given string.  This operation need not be inline even though
  63      HP_TIMING_INLINE is specified.
