janwas 387722d41e # code cleanup/fixes
improvements from work:
- no longer export classes; instead inline functions where it makes
sense (e.g. the scope timers) or export the member functions directly
- fix icc11 warnings
- add some comments

This was SVN commit r6531.

// cumulative timer API
// this supplements in-game profiling by providing low-overhead,
// high resolution time accounting of specific areas.
// since TIMER_ACCRUE et al. are called so often, we try to keep
// overhead to an absolute minimum. storing raw tick counts (e.g. CPU cycles
// returned by ia32_rdtsc) instead of absolute time has two benefits:
// - no need to convert from raw->time on every call
// (instead, it's only done once when displaying the totals)
// - possibly less overhead to querying the time itself
// (timer_Time may be using slower time sources with ~3us overhead)
//
// however, the cycle count is not necessarily a measure of wall-clock time
// (see http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/timing).
// therefore, on systems with SpeedStep active, measurements of I/O or other
// non-CPU bound activity may be skewed. this is ok because the timer is
// only used for profiling; just be aware of the issue.
// if this is a problem, disable CONFIG2_TIMER_ALLOW_RDTSC.
//
// note that overflow isn't an issue either way (63 bit cycle counts
// at 10 GHz cover intervals of 29 years).
