Performance measurement
Hi, I would like to know how performance measurement( time & memory ) done in boost. Do boost has some following APIs to measure performance?? Profiler.start() Code to be measured Profiler.stop() Printstatistics() Regards Nandagopal
Here's how I do it in the serialization library. I have a directory boost/libs/serialization/performance which is very similar to the boost/libs/serialization/test directory. In it I have a couple of performance tests - I need many more. I run the normal bjam system with the profile switch set and generate a table of results. I do this using all the same setup as other testing. This generates a report for each test which shows cpu time consumption on a function by function basis. This works only with the gcc compiler. The serialization documentation describes this system. Robert Ramey Govindan, Nandagopal (GE Healthcare) wrote:

Are you doing this on Linux? profiling options to gcc are fairly useless there, since they produce bogus data. - Volodya
I do that with cygwin. The few times I've done it the data has looked the way I expect to look. I haven't looked too deeply into it though. I am aware that can't just take the data without looking at it carefully. Since one has to do this with optimisation enabled and this aggregates the inline functions and optimises out some code it has to be looked at. But still, I've found it to be very useful.
