function::stop_stopwatch - Linux

Overview

function::stop_stopwatch halts profiling of a function. It is primarily used to measure elapsed time spent within a specific function or code block.

Syntax

function::stop_stopwatch

Options/Flags

None.

Examples

Example 1: Profile the my_function function:

function::profile my_function
function::start_stopwatch
my_function_logic()
function::stop_stopwatch

Example 2: Measure execution time of a code block:

function::start_stopwatch
{
    long-running_code_block()
}
stop_stopwatch

Common Issues

• No output: Ensure that function::profile is enabled for the target function.
• Incorrect time measurements: The stopwatch result may be inaccurate if other code or interruptions occur within the profiled code block.

Integration

function::stop_stopwatch can be combined with function::start_stopwatch and function::profile for performance profiling. It can also be integrated into scripts or command chains to automate profiling tasks.
