Hi!
17214: runtime linker statistics:
17214: total startup time in dynamic loader: 12434 clock cycles
17214: time needed for relocation: 280243 clock cycles (%)
17214: number of relocations: 98
17214: number of relocations from cache: 3
17214: number of relative relocations: 1286
17214: time needed to load objects: 0 clock cycles (.0%)
certainly doesn't look correct.
The problem is that without volatile in the rdtsc asm GCC happily merges
HP_TIMING_NOW (start);
call something
HP_TIMING_NOW (stop);
so that stop == start (rdtsc done only before the call).
17232: runtime linker statistics:
17232: total startup time in dynamic loader: 733738 clock cycles
17232: time needed for relocation: 278644 clock cycles (37.9%)
17232: number of relocations: 83
17232: number of relocations from cache: 3
17232: number of relative relocations: 1295
17232: time needed to load objects: 326662 clock cycles (44.5%)
looks better.
