Hi guys,

I'd like to know if there is a way using the stdlib that I can measure the number of ticks that a thread has been working. I do mean the number of ticks that it has been ACTIVE, and not the noTicks since its creation.

Thanks!
Phil

The D core.thread lib could certainly have more functions added to it.

If you are using a posix compatible OS, check out

core.sys.posix.sys.resource;

Use this function to get runtime stats
int getrusage(int, rusage*);

For usage details, consult the manpage
http://linux.die.net/man/2/getrusage

The times returned are in seconds+msec but you can convert to approx ticks using conversion functions in core.clock.

As for Windows, I have no idea how to get this information, but there's probably a way.

That function sounds great. Unfortunately I am working on Windows so I guess I'll have to look into their API. I was hoping for a solution available in the std but if there isn't than there isn't. Thanks for you information!

You may find something in core.sys.windows.windows.d. My understanding is that it's not a full interface into the windows API, but enough may be there.

Also please post a bug or enhancement issue for anything that you think ought to be included in the standard libs that isn't.
