Detailed Description

A timer for measuring performance of code and dumping the results to a file.

e.g.

        PerformanceCounter pc ("fish", 50, "/temp/myfishlog.txt");

        for (;;)
        {
            pc.start();

            doSomethingFishy();

            pc.stop();
        }

In this example, the time of each period between calling start/stop will be measured and averaged over 50 runs, and the results printed to a file every 50 times round the loop.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PerformanceCounter::PerformanceCounter	(	const String &	counterName,
		int	runsPerPrintout = 100,
		const File &	loggingFile = File::nonexistent
	)

Creates a PerformanceCounter object.

Parameters:

counterName	the name used when printing out the statistics
runsPerPrintout	the number of start/stop iterations before calling printStatistics()
loggingFile	a file to dump the results to - if this is File::nonexistent, the results are just written to the debugger output

PerformanceCounter::~PerformanceCounter

(

)

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

void PerformanceCounter::start

(

)

Starts timing.

See also:

stop

void PerformanceCounter::stop

(

)

Stops timing and prints out the results.

The number of iterations before doing a printout of the results is set in the constructor.

See also:

start

void PerformanceCounter::printStatistics

(

)

Dumps the current metrics to the debugger output and to a file.

As well as using Logger::outputDebugString to print the results, this will write then to the file specified in the constructor (if this was valid).
