Hi,
I'm not sure whether I'm badly misusing InstructionCount or there is a
bug, but let's assume the first one for now...
The simplified situation is like that: I have a function (say, foo())
for which I want to track the number of instructions executed and the
function itself calls another function (say, bar()), for which I also
want to keep track of the number of instructions executed, something
like:
...
private void foo(){
Debug.InstructionCount icount = new Debug.InstructionCount();
icount.resetAndStart();
// Some code here
bar();
// Some more code
if (icount.collect()){
// Log the number of instructions, icount.globalTotal()
}
}
private void bar(){
Debug.InstructionCount icount = new Debug.InstructionCount();
icount.resetAndStart();
// Some code here
if (icount.collect()){
// Log the number of instructions, icount.globalTotal()
}
}
Well, you get the idea. So, in a slightly more complex case (some more
function calls, but nothing very complex), what happens is:

I could understand that, e.g. only one counter could be running for a
thread or something, but the number of counters clearly goes up and
down for a while until DalvikVM exits.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and/or how I could keep track of
instruction count for each single method?
Thanks!
Andrius
