Detailed Description

Class for cpu time benchmarking.

Usage:

    timer t;
 
    // start the timer
    t.start();
 
    sleep(1);
 
    // get the elapsed real time and cpu time without stop
    BOOST_REQUIRE_CLOSE(t.getwct(),1.0,20.0);
    BOOST_REQUIRE_SMALL(t.getcputime(),10.0);
 
    sleep(1);
 
    // stop the timer
    t.stop();
 
    sleep(1);
 
    // unusefull
    t.stop();
 
    // get the cpu time and real time
    t.getcputime();
    t.getwct();
 
    // get the elapsed real time and cpu time without stop
    BOOST_REQUIRE_CLOSE(t.getwct(),2.0,20.0);
    BOOST_REQUIRE_SMALL(t.getcputime(),10.0);
 
    t.reset();
 
    BOOST_REQUIRE_CLOSE(t.getwct(),0.0,20.0);
    BOOST_REQUIRE_SMALL(t.getcputime(),10.0);
