I have a case where I can write a function a few different ways and since
Flash Player doesn't provide a microtime only getTimer() I'm trying to find
a way to get the number of operations that are occurring in each different
method.
For example, I have 3 different ways to get the results I want
for (var i:int;i<array.length;i++) {}
for (var prop in object) {}
for each (value in object) {}
each gets the result I'm looking for. But what I want to know is if there
is a way to know how many operations are being run on the CPU from a
specific statement, a specifc block of code or a specific function. I know
about the Flash Builder profiler and Scout but I see only sample time which
I'm not looking for just operation counts.
I might be running this on a microcontroller that has limited CPU. So
instead of 1 teraflop I might have 1000 operations.
I guess that also begs the question are all operations equal at the CPU
level?
