Hi,

The -T option of the SunAda-1.1 compiler produces timing results after a
compile like this:

TIMES for Front End         wall 1.61   cpu 0.80
TIMES for Optimizer         wall 1.47   cpu 1.45
TIMES for Code Generator    wall 0.31   cpu 0.20
TIMES for TOTAL TIME        wall 4.08   cpu 2.65

Question: What exactly does "wall" mean?

Thanks in advance,

Ken Anderson

"wall" presumably means "wall clock," otherwise known
as elapsed time, as opposed to CPU time.
