/* There are no generic definitions for the times. We could write something
using the `gettimeofday' system call where available but the overhead of
- the system call might be too high.
-
- In case a platform supports timers in the hardware the following macros
- and types must be defined:
-
- - HP_TIMING_AVAIL: test for availability.
-
- - HP_TIMING_INLINE: this macro is non-zero if the functionality is not
- implemented using function calls but instead uses some inlined code
- which might simply consist of a few assembler instructions. We have to
- know this since we might want to use the macros here in places where we
- cannot make function calls.
-
- - hp_timing_t: This is the type for variables used to store the time
- values.
-
- - HP_TIMING_NOW: place timestamp for current time in variable given as
- parameter.
-
- - HP_TIMING_DIFF: compute difference between two times and store it
- in a third. Source and destination might overlap.
-
- - HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT: add time difference to another variable, without
- being thread-safe.
-
- - HP_TIMING_PRINT: write decimal representation of the timing value into
- the given string. This operation need not be inline even though
- HP_TIMING_INLINE is specified.
