Timing some code execution outside Instruments

I'm curious if there is a way to NSLog how long some code takes to execute (outside of using Instruments). In Flash one can use getTimer and see how much time passed inline. Is there a way to do this in Obj-C? Would one use a NSDate object? Google Voice: (508) 656-0622 Twitter:

Re: Timing some code execution outside Instruments

I'm curious if there is a way to NSLog how long some code takes to execute (outside of using Instruments). In Flash one can use getTimer and see how much time passed inline. Is there a way to do this in Obj-C? You can use the basic old std C routines like clock (). Vincent

I found this. NSDate *methodStart = [NSDate date]; /* ... Do whatever you need to do ... */ NSDate *methodFinish = [NSDate date]; NSTimeInterval executionTime = [methodFinish timeIntervalSinceDate: methodStart]; Google Voice: (508) 656-0622 Twitter: eric_dolecki XBoxLive: edolecki
