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

Creates a PerformanceCounter object.

Parameters
counterNamethe name used when printing out the statistics
runsPerPrintoutthe number of start/stop iterations before calling printStatistics()
loggingFilea file to dump the results to - if this is File(), the results are just written to the debugger output

◆ ~PerformanceCounter()

PerformanceCounter::~PerformanceCounter ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ start()

void PerformanceCounter::start ( )
noexcept

Starts timing.

See also
stop

◆ stop()

bool 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.

start

◆ printStatistics()

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).

◆ getStatisticsAndReset()

Statistics PerformanceCounter::getStatisticsAndReset ( )

Returns a copy of the current stats, and resets the internal counter.
