       TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER - Declares a global timer

SYNOPSIS

       C/C++:

       TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER(Profiler timer, char* or string& function_name, char* or string& type,
                        TauGroup_t group);

DESCRIPTION

       As TAU_PROFILE_TIMER is used within the scope of a block (typically a routine), TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER can be
       used across different routines.

EXAMPLE

       C/C++ :

       /* f1.c */

       TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER(globalTimer, "global timer", "", TAU_USER);

       /* f2.c */

       TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_EXTERNAL(globalTimer);
       int foo(void) {
         TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_START(globalTimer);
         /* ... */
         TAU_GLOBAL_TIMER_STOP();
       }
