// USAGE: This macro is very simple to use:
//
// LOO_MEASURE_TIME(@"foo") {
// ... // Some code.
// LOO_MEASURE_TIME(@"bar") {
// ... // Some nested code.
// }
// ... // Maybe some more code.
// }
//
// Just remember not to use control instructions: return, break and goto inside the block.
// (break inside a loop in the block is okay though).
#define LOO_MEASURE_TIME(__message) \
for (CFAbsoluteTime startTime##__LINE__ = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent(), endTime##__LINE__ = 0.0; endTime##__LINE__ == 0.0; \
NSLog(@"'%@' took %.6fs", (__message), (endTime##__LINE__ = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()) - startTime##__LINE__))
