This cannot be done with (inline) functions, I think. At least not in a way to enforce the reproducable measuring wanted there.

Even though the inline keyword >is not defined in ANSI C, most compilers support it. inline is supported in ISO C of 1999. ANSI C is history since long. After the first ANSI C Standard, it soon was superseeded by the first ISO C standard (which was basically the same). Regards, Dieter
