[Foxgui-users]Measurement time

[Jean-Dominique B. <jea...@fr...>]

I need to measure time to get an idea of the time percentage spent in the different parts of my program. 

In a recent message (see below), the API fxgetticks() was mentionned, but only under gcc.
Is there a solution under WinXP + VC++6.0 ?

Actually, i tried it but linking fails with the following error :

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__int64 __cdecl fxgetticks(void)" (?fxgetticks@@YA_JXZ)

Any idea on how to get it working ?

The API fxgetticks() returns the CPU clock ticks taken in an operation.
Its not a formal API, so first you have to declare it:


	extern FXlong fxgetticks();


Before you can use it.

This function is supported and tested on x86 and x86-64 (GCC) only.
