28 // timing and profiling.

41 // These APIs should be used to guide animation and other program functions
42 // that require precision.
44 // Returns ticks in milliseconds, as a 32-bit number. May wrap around every
45 // 49.2 days. Use either time difference of two values of GetTicks to avoid
46 // wrap-around. GetTicksMs may perform better then GetTicks.

49 // GetTicks returns general-purpose high resolution application timer value,
50 // measured in microseconds (mks, or 1/1000000 of a second). The actual precision
51 // is system-specific and may be much lower, such as 1 ms.

55 // ***** Profiling APIs.
56 // These functions should be used for profiling, but may have system specific
57 // artifacts that make them less appropriate for general system use.
58 // On Win32, for example these rely on QueryPerformanceConter may have
59 // problems with thread-core switching and power modes.
61 // Return a hi-res timer value in mks (1/1000000 of a sec).
62 // Generally you want to call this at the start and end of an
63 // operation, and pass the difference to
64 // TicksToSeconds() to find out how long the operation took.
65 static UInt64 OVR_STDCALL GetProfileTicks();
67 // More convenient zero-based profile timer in seconds. First call initializes
68 // the "zero" value; future calls return the difference. Not thread safe for first call.
