Time, Module Instrumentation Dialog Box
Select whether to time functions in the selected modules. Quantify records the amount of time spent in each function and then converts the time into the equivalent number of machine cycles.
Timing modules can speed up the run-time performance of the instrumented program. The data is accurate for the current run, but is influenced by microprocessor state and memory effects, and so is not always repeatable.
For a DLL, only data for exported functions is recorded. Time for internal, non-exported functions is attributed to the calling exported functions.
Notes:
§ The Time measurement type is not supported for selective instrumentation.
§ If you choose to time functions in an executable, the only data Quantify includes for the executable is the .exe's entry point. The entry point's function time includes the function time of the other functions in the .exe.
