Description

Starts a static timer defined by TAU_PROFILE.

Example

C/C++ :

TAU_PROFILE("int foo(int) [{foo.cpp} {13,1}-{20,1}]", " ", TAU_USER);

printf("inside foo: calling bar: x = %d\n", x);
printf("before calling bar in foo\n");
TAU_STATIC_TIMER_START("foo_bar");
bar(x-1); /* 17 */
printf("after calling bar in foo\n");
TAU_STATIC_TIMER_STOP("foo_bar");

Fortran :

call TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(profiler, 'FOO [{foo.f90} {8,18}]')
call TAU_PROFILE_START(profiler)
print *, "inside foo: calling bar, x = ", x
  call TAU_STATIC_TIMER_START("foo_bar");
    call bar(x-1)
  print *, "after calling bar"
    call TAU_STATIC_TIMER_STOP("foo_bar");
call TAU_PROFILE_STOP(profiler)
