// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- // CycleClock // A CycleClock tells you the current time in Cycles. The "time" // is actually time since power-on. This is like time() but doesn't // involve a system call and is much more precise. // // NOTE: Not all cpu/platform/kernel combinations guarantee that this // clock increments at a constant rate or is synchronized across all logical // cpus in a system. // // If you need the above guarantees, please consider using a different // API. There are efforts to provide an interface which provides a millisecond // granularity and implemented as a memory read. A memory read is generally // cheaper than the CycleClock for many architectures. // // Also, in some out of order CPU implementations, the CycleClock is not // serializing. So if you're trying to count at cycles granularity, your // data might be inaccurate due to out of order instruction execution. // ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #ifndef BENCHMARK_CYCLECLOCK_H_ #define BENCHMARK_CYCLECLOCK_H_ #include #include "benchmark/benchmark.h" #include "internal_macros.h" #if defined(BENCHMARK_OS_MACOSX) #include #endif // For MSVC, we want to use '_asm rdtsc' when possible (since it works // with even ancient MSVC compilers), and when not possible the // __rdtsc intrinsic, declared in .
