Hi,
I have troubles to get what I want from linetimes.stp example, so I've
decided to create my own somewhat simplified version. I'm currently
interested in the average runtime of a function after a certain number
of runs, but apparently it gives me values like 74279383992077, which is
clearly wrong. And I have a feeling I'm misunderstanding something
obvious about the array handling, but I couldn't figure out what.
Could anyone give me an advice about what am I missing?
Regards,
Zoltan Kiss
And here is my example script:
global cnt = 0;
global starttime = 0;
global runtimes;
probe process(<procname>).function(<funcname>).call {
starttime = gettimeofday_ns();
}
probe process(<procname>).function(<funcname>).return {
runtime = gettimeofday_ns() - starttime;
starttime = 0;
runtimes <<< runtime;
if (cnt > 50000) {
printf("Runtime avg: %u\n", @avg(runtimes));
delete runtimes;
cnt = 0;
}
cnt++;
}
