 * instr_time.h
 *    portable high-precision interval timing
 *
 * This file provides an abstraction layer to hide portability issues in
 * interval timing.  On Unix we use gettimeofday(), but on Windows that
 * gives a low-precision result so we must use QueryPerformanceCounter()
 * instead.  These macros also give some breathing room to use other
 * high-precision-timing APIs on yet other platforms.
 *
 * The basic data type is instr_time, which all callers should treat as an
 * opaque typedef.  instr_time can store either an absolute time (of
 * unspecified reference time) or an interval.  The operations provided
 * for it are:
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_IS_ZERO(t)            is t equal to zero?
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_SET_ZERO(t)           set t to zero (memset is acceptable too)
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(t)        set t to current time
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_ADD(x, y)             x += y
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_SUBTRACT(x, y)        x -= y
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_ACCUM_DIFF(x, y, z)   x += (y - z)
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_GET_DOUBLE(t)         convert t to double (in seconds)
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_GET_MILLISEC(t)       convert t to double (in milliseconds)
 *
 * INSTR_TIME_GET_MICROSEC(t)       convert t to uint64 (in microseconds)
 *
 * Note that INSTR_TIME_SUBTRACT and INSTR_TIME_ACCUM_DIFF convert
 * absolute times to intervals.  The INSTR_TIME_GET_xxx operations are
 * only useful on intervals.
 *
 * When summing multiple measurements, it's recommended to leave the
 * running sum in instr_time form (ie, use INSTR_TIME_ADD or
 * INSTR_TIME_ACCUM_DIFF) and convert to a result format only at the end.
 *
 * Beware of multiple evaluations of the macro arguments.
