[SOLVED] How to use the API of AdvancedTimer?

[Coco]

Hello!

Can anyone give me some details about the API of AdvancedTimer? I can’t understand the usage examples in the AdvancedTimer.h.

Hi Coco,

There is a page dedicated to it in the documentation, you should carefully read the doc.

Let’s take an example in DefaultAnimationLoop.cpp. Have a look at the DefaultAnimationLoop::step() function.

Here, the way of using AdvancedTimer is visible. First, you need the header to be included:
#include <sofa/helper/AdvancedTimer.h>

Then, in the function, you always have a first Timer starting the counting and another ending the Timer:

 sofa::helper::AdvancedTimer::stepBegin("MyTimer");
//Here the code that you want to measure the computation time
 sofa::helper::AdvancedTimer::stepEnd("MyTimer");

Finally, to actually measure the time spent for this piece of code what you need is click in the tab “Stats” of runSofa and then click “Log Time”. Run 100 steps and get the timers in the command window.
