Hello!
I have a little question about templates. I am trying to write
a template "timer" that takes a function and times how long the
function takes to execute. Something like
auto time = timer!sort(array);
is equivalent to
auto start = Clock.currStdTime();
sort(array);
auto time = Clock.currStdTime() - time;
except of course that the variable "start" is not created in the
former case.
The closest I came to the correct template is
template(alias F) timer {
auto timer {
auto start = Clock.currStdTime();
F();
return Clock.currStdTime() - time;
}
}
The problem with the template is I cannot pass any argument into
"F". How should I fix this problem?
Also, I am not entirely sure why I need to write "alias F"
instead of just "F", any explanation would be appreciated.
Thank you guys,
Michael
