withIntervalSignpost(_:id:around:)

Measures the execution of the specified closure.

Declaration

func withIntervalSignpost<T>(_ name: StaticString, id: OSSignpostID = .exclusive, around task: () throws -> T) rethrows -> T

Parameters

  • name:

    The signpost’s name.

  • id:

    The signpost’s ID. The default value is Exclusive.

  • task:

    The closure around which to create the signposted interval.

Discussion

The signposter uses a signpost ID to pair the beginning and the end of a signposted interval, which is necessary because multiple intervals with the same configuration and scope can be in-flight simultaneously. If only one interval with a specific configuration can execute at any particular time, pass exclusive as the id parameter. Otherwise, use the makeSignpostID() and makeSignpostID(from:) methods to generate a signpost identifier, as the following example shows:

// Create a signposter using the default subsystem.
let signposter = OSSignposter()
        
// Generate a signpost ID to associate with the signpost.
let signpostID = signposter.makeSignpostID()
        
// Signpost the interval of a closure that encapsulates 
// one or more related tasks.
signposter.withIntervalSignpost("Example Signpost", id: signpostID) {
    // Perform one or more related tasks.
}
