+/* There are no generic definitions for the times. We could write something
+ using the `gettimeofday' system call where available but the overhead of
+ the system call might be too high.
+
+ In case a platform supports timers in the hardware the following macros
+ and types must be defined:
+
+ - HP_TIMING_AVAIL: test for availability.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_INLINE: this macro is non-zero if the functionality is not
+ implemented using function calls but instead uses some inlined code
+ which might simply consist of a few assembler instructions. We have to
+ know this since we might want to use the macros here in places where we
+ cannot make function calls.
+
+ - hp_timing_t: This is the type for variables used to store the time
+ values.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_ZERO: clear `hp_timing_t' object.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_NOW: place timestamp for current time in variable given as
+ parameter.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT: do whatever is necessary to be able to use the
+ HP_TIMING_DIFF macro.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_DIFF: compute difference between two times and store it
+ in a third. Source and destination might overlap.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_ACCUM: add time difference to another variable. This might
+ be a bit more complicated to implement for some platforms as the
+ operation should be thread-safe and 64bit arithmetic on 32bit platforms
+ is not.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT: this is the variant for situations where we know
+ there are no threads involved.
+
+ - HP_TIMING_PRINT: write decimal representation of the timing value into
+ the given string. This operation need not be inline even though
+ HP_TIMING_INLINE is specified.
