Thanks!
Also included is a running comment on what the profiler is doing, so the user can tell what is going on.
Hmmm. I seem to have missed that part.
Have you thought about using boost::timer? I have also created a v2 jam file to make it easier to build on different compilers.
From the timer.hpp header file...
// It is recommended that implementations measure wall clock rather than CPU // time since the intended use is performance measurement on systems where // total elapsed time is more important than just process or CPU time. However, for better portability (and higher boost usage points), I can use date_time. The test program, using date_time is attached.
It would be interesting to hook this into Boost.Test as this would make it easier to capture the results and perform processing/analysis on the data. Also, it would possibly be beneficial to have some sort of Boost.Profiling library that sits on top of Boost.Test to make it easier to do this.
I agree, but I am still a Boost.Build/Boost.Test neophite. The jamfile is simple enough, but what is *not* there is what makes it confusing for us old "make" hacks...
