TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER (3)

C/C++: TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER(Profiler timer, char* or string& function_name, char* or string& type, TauGroup_t group);

As TAU_PROFILE_TIMER is used within the scope of a block (typically a routine), TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER can be used across different routines.

C/C++ :

/* f1.c */

TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER(globalTimer, "global timer", "", TAU_USER);

/* f2.c */

TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_EXTERNAL(globalTimer);
int foo(void) {
  TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_START(globalTimer);
  /* ... */
  TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_STOP();
}

TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_EXTERNAL, TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_START(3), TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_STOP(3)
