#define END_BENCHMARK

End of the test program

#define END_SECTION

Value:

BENCHMARK::timer.stop();\
  BENCHMARK::section_time = BENCHMARK::timer.getCPUTime() - BENCHMARK::section_time;\
  if (BENCHMARK::verbose > 0)\
  {\
    std::cout << BENCHMARK::section_name << ": " \
      << BENCHMARK::section_time << " s"\
      << " (weight = " << BENCHMARK::section_weight << ")" << std::endl;\
  }\
  BENCHMARK::total_time += BENCHMARK::section_time * BENCHMARK::section_weight;\

End of a benchmark section.

#define START_BENCHMARK	(	class_name,
		overall_weight,
		version		)

Program body for the benchmark. The parameter weight determines the overall weight of this test in the accumulated benchmark (BALLStones).

#define START_SECTION	(	name,
		weight		)

Value:

BENCHMARK::section_time = BENCHMARK::timer.getCPUTime();\
  BENCHMARK::section_name = #name;\
  BENCHMARK::section_weight = weight;

Start a new benchmark section. The argument weight determines the weighting factor of the section.

#define START_TIMER   BENCHMARK::timer.start();\

Start the timer. This macro is used to determine the running time of a set of commands. It may be used in benchmarks and requires a prior invocation of the START_BENCHMARK macro. All commands that are between the START_TIMER and the STOP_TIMER command contribute to the overall running time of the benchmark.

#define STATUS

(

a

)

Value:

if (BENCHMARK::verbose > 0)\
  {\
    std::cout << "  status: " << a << std::endl;\
  }

Status output. Print debugging information if called with -v.

#define STOP_TIMER   BENCHMARK::timer.stop();

Stop the timer. This macro is used to determine the running time of a set of commands. It may be used in benchmarks and requires a prior invocation of the START_BENCHMARK and START_TIMER macros. All commands that are between the START_TIMER and the STOP_TIMER command contribute to the overall running time of the benchmark.
