Description

High resolution timer.

Class to measure time intervals. The implementation tries to uses a system timer with high resolution. The system timer that is used depends on the platform.

Note: Usage example for measuring a single time interval:

Timer timer;
timer.reset();
doSomething();
timer.stop();
std::cout << "doSomething() took " << timer.getSeconds() << " s." << std::endl;

Note: Usage example for measuring multiple time intervals:

Timer timer;
timer.reset();
timer.stop();
[...]
timer.resume();
doPartA();
timer.stop();
[...]
timer.resume();
doPartB();
timer.stop();
std::cout << "doPartA() and doPartB() took " << timer.getSeconds() << " s." << std::endl;
