A very crude solution would be to use Sysutils.GetTickCount() before and after a procedure - then calculate the difference (end - start), but if you want more control and higher resolution timing - like in the case of profiling your applications, I would suggest EpikTimer (Felipe posted the link). EpikTimer is a non-visual component, so can even be used in console applications. Note: I can't remember if I submitted a patch for EpikTimer, breaking the dependency on LCL. Originally EpikTimer only had one design-time package, meaning it gets registered in the Lazarus IDE - hence a dependency on LCL. But EpikTimer is non visual, so I split the package in two (Runtime and Designtime). The latter is the only one that now depends on LCL. The Runtime package can be used in Console apps, fpGUI apps etc..

If you need a high-resolution timer and only x86 platforms (or maybe x86_64 too), one option would be using the timer available in http://members.yline.com/~tom_at_work/cpudist.zip (see http://members.yline.com/~tom_at_work/ for link to documentation and further information). A completely platform independent solution included in FPC RTL but with lower precision is using either Dos.GetTime, Dos.GetMsCount or one of functions provided in unit SysUtils (e.g. GetLocalTime, Time or Now).

[fpc-pascal] Stack fault under WinCE
Hello, I am getting a stack overflow under Windows CE and I am rather lost about what it could be. Sure it could be an infinite loop, but the app doesn't hang, and the same code runs fine under Desktop Windows... Trying to get the backtrace also doesn't help, because it seams that it is emptied ... any ideas how to find where this happens? Can I increase the stack size somehow? Despite the fact that WinCE docs say that Windows will use whatever memory available for it ... warning: [Stack fault]: Thread=96a386e8 Proc=80097120 'simpletest.exe' warning: AKY=00010011 PC=88039c8c(NK.EXE+0x9c8c) RA=8803a198(NK.EXE+0xa1 98) BVA=22af1fe4 FSR=0407 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x88039c8c in ??
