Weird timing results in C

I was running some timings in my code to see which of several functions was the best and I've been getting some odd results. Here's the code I'm using: static double time_loop(int (*foo)(int)) { clock_t start, end; int n = 0, i = 0; start = clock(); for (; i <= MAXN; i++) if...

Byte swap timing

I have noticed the difference in byte swap timing between two Ubuntu systems. The bswap_32 used to work just fine on the old system, but on the new one it lags behind home-grown swap. My code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <byteswap.h> #include...

clock

clock(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 						 clock(3C)

NAME

       clock - report CPU time used

SYNOPSIS

       #include <time.h>

       clock_t clock(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The clock() function returns the amount of CPU time (in microseconds) used since the first call to clock() in the calling process. The time
       reported is the sum of the user and system times of the calling process and its terminated child processes for which it	has  executed  the
       wait(3C) function, the pclose(3C) function, or the system(3C) function.

RETURN VALUES

       Dividing  the  value returned by clock() by the constant CLOCKS_PER_SEC, defined in the <time.h> header, will give the time in seconds.	If
       the process time used is not available or cannot be  represented, clock returns the value (clock_t) -1.

USAGE

       The value returned by clock() is defined in microseconds for compatibility with systems that have CPU clocks with much  higher  resolution.
       Because of this, the value returned will wrap around after accumulating only 2147 seconds of CPU time (about 36 minutes).
