Description
Jon Christiansen
Actually, im confused between the difference is between the cumulative time and the inherited base time.... if the documentation could spell the difference out, I think I would have a better chance of understanding. There is the doc page entitled "Time", but it only describes base time and cumulative time and does not discuss inherited time. What version of the docs are you looking at? In the latest 3.2 documentation,
the following is outlined in the Execution Statistics View topic:
Base Time
For any invocation, the base time is the time taken to execute the
invocation, excluding the time spent in other methods that were called during
the invocation.
Average Base Time
The base time divided by the number of calls.
Inherited Base Time
Similar to the base time spent in the selected package or class although it
does include the time spent in other (inherited) methods that were called during
the invocation.
Cumulative Time
For any invocation, the cumulative time is the time taken to execute the
time spent in methods.
Inherited Cumulative Time
Similar to the cumulative time of the selected package or class, although it
also includes the time spent in other (inherited) methods that were called
during the invocation.
Calls
The number of calls made by a selected method.
Inherited Calls
The number of calls made by a method and by its inherited methods.
If the above is still unclear
Never mind, I see how it can be confusing. Will make sure the definitions are made clearer. Thanx. Base time is excluding methods it calls, cumulative time is including. So cumulative time is always greater than or equal to base time. This specific text is missing something or somehow got screwed up during some
editing, because the sentence does not make sense.
Cumulative Time
For any invocation, the cumulative time is the time taken to execute the
time spent in methods.
Ok, I fully understand the difference between base time and cumulative time, but can inherited base time be explained in comparison to those two? Fixed in 3.3 & in 4.0 streams. As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant enhancements/defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement/defect is verified/closed by the Project Lead since this enhancement/defect has been resolved and unverified for more than 1 year and considered to be fixed. If this enhancement/defect is still unresolved and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open. |
