Profile a c++ function
TAU_PROFILE(char* or string& function_name, char* or string& type, TauGroup_t group);
TAU_PROFILE profiles a function. This macro defines the function and takes care of the timer start and stop as well. The timer will stop when the macro goes out of scope (as in C++ destruction).
int foo(char *str) {
TAU_PROFILE(foo","int (char *)",TAU_DEFAULT);
