Hello, I have used the timer class in my application. It works ok sometime but i think it dont work correctly.

I'm not sure how timer is supposed to work but a few general comments. Other than the obvious, "your mileage may vary" ( it really could be that fast), I'm not even sure the compiler has to execute the loop if you turn on optimizations and don't mark count as volatile as the intermediate results are unobservable. Since no one looks at the end, it really never even needs to push count. I think that is legal anyway, opposing viewpoints welcome :)

my code is: #include #include "boost/timer.hpp" using namespace std; using namespace boost; int main() { int count=0; timer t; for(;count cout< return 0; } and the output: 0.015 execute time :0.062s

sometime the output is: 0 execute time :0.015s

regards hechao
