Description

Miscellaneous debug utility functions. Not part of the stable +library interface.

Functions

gimp_debug_timer_start ()

gboolean
+gimp_debug_timer_start (void);

Starts measuring elapsed time.

This procedure starts a timer, measuring the elapsed time since the +call. Each call to this procedure should be matched by a call to +gimp_debug_timer_end(), which returns the elapsed time. +If there is already an active timer, it is not affected by the call, +however, a matching gimp_debug_timer_end() call is still required.

This is a debug utility procedure. It is subject to change at any +point, and should not be used in production.

Returns

TRUE on success.

gimp_debug_timer_end ()

gdouble
+gimp_debug_timer_end (void);

Finishes measuring elapsed time.

This procedure stops the timer started by a previous +gimp_debug_timer_start() call, and prints and returns the elapsed +time. +If there was already an active timer at the time of corresponding +call to gimp_debug_timer_start(), a dummy value is returned.

This is a debug utility procedure. It is subject to change at any +point, and should not be used in production.

Returns

The elapsed time, in seconds.
