Time a function: Difference between revisions

=={{header|BaCon}}==

The BaCon '''TIMER''' function keeps track of time spent running, in milliseconds (which is also the time unit used by '''SLEEP'''). This is not process specific, but a wall clock time counter which starts at 0 during process initialization. As BaCon can easily use external C libraries, process specific ''CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID'' '''clock_gettime''' could also be used.
