NAME
TAU_MAPPING_PROFILE_TIMER - Declares a mapping timer SYNOPSIS
C/C++: TAU_MAPPING_PROFILE_TIMER(Profiler timer, FunctionInfo *FuncIdVar); DESCRIPTION
TAU_MAPPING_PROFILE_TIMER enables timing of individual statements, instead of complete blocks. It will attribute the time to a higher-level statement. The second argument is the identifier of the statement that is obtained after TAU_MAPPING_OBJECT and TAU_MAPPING_LINK have executed. The timer argument in this macro is any variable that is used subsequently to start and stop the timer. EXAMPLE
C/C++ : template<class LHS,class Op,class RHS,class EvalTag> void ExpressionKernel<LHS,Op,RHS,EvalTag>::run() { TAU_MAPPING_PROFILE_TIMER(timer, TauMapFI); printf("ExpressionKernel::run() this = 4854 ", this); // Just evaluate the expression. TAU_MAPPING_PROFILE_START(timer); KernelEvaluator<EvalTag>().evaluate(lhs_m, op_m, rhs_m); TAU_MAPPING_PROFILE_STOP(); // we could release the locks here instead of in the dtor. } SEE ALSO
