/**
 * @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
 *
