25 /* Timing variables are used to measure elapsed time in various
26 portions of the compiler. Each measures elapsed user, system, and
27 wall-clock time, as appropriate to and supported by the host
28 system.
30 Timing variables are defined using the DEFTIMEVAR macro in
31 timevar.def. Each has an enumeral identifier, used when referring
32 to the timing variable in code, and a character string name.
34 Timing variables can be used in two ways:
36 - On the timing stack, using timevar_push and timevar_pop.
37 Timing variables may be pushed onto the stack; elapsed time is
38 attributed to the topmost timing variable on the stack. When
39 another variable is pushed on, the previous topmost variable is
40 `paused' until the pushed variable is popped back off.
42 - As a standalone timer, using timevar_start and timevar_stop.
43 All time elapsed between the two calls is attributed to the
44 variable.
47 /* This structure stores the various varieties of time that can be
48 measured. Times are stored in seconds. The time may be an
49 absolute time or a time difference; in the former case, the time
50 base is undefined, except that the difference between two times
51 produces a valid time difference. */
