Here's a use case that I had trouble getting to work with the current profiler implementation. I have some code that is benchmarking a relatively fast routine. I was using boost::timer and keeping track of the number of calls I could do before the timer reached some reasonable value (say 5 seconds). I then report the number of calls/sec I can make by dividing these values. I had difficulty converting this to use the profiler code because of the small run-time of the routine. Using a timer inside my for loop just resulted in timer underflows. I think what I'm looking for is a way to bump the "count" portion of the counted_sum for a profiler without stopping it. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
