I was searching around boost for mention of a profiling library. A fellow by the name of Carl Daniels posted something about an invasive profiling library. I was wondering in anyone knows what happened to that project? Profiling seems lacking at Boost, is anyone else interested in such a thing? Would a trivial policy driven RAII type be sufficient to garner interest as a mini-library? e.g. struct ProfilerDefaultPolicy { OnElapsed(int msec) { cout << "time elapsed (msec): " << msec << endl; } }; template<typename Policy_T = ProfilerDefaultPolicy> class Profiler { public: Profiler() { mnStart = GetTickCount(); }; ~Profiler() { Policy_T::OnElapsed(GetMSecElapsed()); }; int GetMSecElapsed() { return GetTickCount() - mnStart; }; int GetTickCount() { return int(double(clock()) * 1000 / CLOCKS_PER_SEC); }; private: int mnStart; }; usage: void MyRoutine() { Profiler<> p; // do stuff } Pretty trivial (and probably not boost-worthy), but I find it very useful. Does anyone want to take this and run with it (i.e. boostify it)? Christopher Diggins Object Oriented Template Library (OOTL) http://www.ootl.org
