Stopwatch

Easy to use simple benchmarking tool.

Sends UDP packets to localhost, which StopwatchViewer receives and displays stats on, including plots (credit to Fiachra Matthews here).

StopwatchViewer needs Qt6 to build. Simply include Stopwatch.h in whatever code you want to benchmark and use as such;

#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "Stopwatch.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  //This stops duplicate timings on multiple runs
  Stopwatch::getInstance().setCustomSignature(32434);

  STOPWATCH("Timing1",

  if(argc >= 1)
  {
    sleep(1);
  }

  );


  TICK("Timing2");

  while(argc > 0)
  {
    sleep(2);
    argc--;
  }

  TOCK("Timing2");

  Stopwatch::getInstance().sendAll();
}

Then just watch the stats in StopwatchViewer GUI. Pass in the "-c" flag to use the CLI instead of Qt GUI.

Uses some code from the B-Human code release (http://www.b-human.de/).
