+/**
+ * @file parc_Timing.h
+ * @ingroup developer
+ * @brief Macros for timing code
+ *
+ * These macros allow the developer to measure time spent in sections of code.
+ * On Intel platforms (i386 or x86_64), the timing is done with the TSC counter, so it will be measured in CPU cycles.
+ * On non-Intel Linux platforms, it will be be done with the nano-second oscillator clock (CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW).
+ * On Darwin, it will use the nano-second SYSTEM_CLOCK.
+ * Otherwise, uses gettimeofday(), which will be micro-second timing.
+ *
+ * This set of headers will define several macros for timing:
+ * parcTiming_Init(prefix)
+ * parcTiming_Fini(prefix)
+ * parcTiming_Start(prefix)
+ * parcTiming_Stop(prefix)
+ * (uint64_t) parcTiming_Delta(prefix)
+ *
+ * The units returned from parcTiming_Delta() will be consistent, but not necessarily
+ * related to wall clock time, real time, or any discernable time unit. For example, they
+ * may be in CPU instruction cycles or raw oscillator ticks or nano-seconds.
+ *
+ * These macros only work if the user defines PARCTIMING_ENABLE. Otherwise, they do not
+ * generate any instructions and parcTiming_Delta will always return 0.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * #define PARCTIMING_ENABLE 1
+ * #include <parc/developer/parc_Timing.h>
+ *
+ * void
+ * foo(void)
+ * {
+ * parcTiming_Init(_foo);
+ * // ... other stuff ..
+ * parcTiming_Start(_foo);
+ * // ... stuff to measure ...
+ * parcTiming_Stop(_foo);
+ *
+ * uint64_t delta = parcTiming_Delta(_foo);
+ * parcTiming_Fini(_foo)
+ * }
+ * @endcode
