## ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

If users want to use time probes, the ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES flag must be defined when compiling ACE. This can be achieved by doing one of the following:

It is not necessary to define ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES when using time probes, you simply need ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBES. You can use the ACE_TIMEPROBE_* macros to program the time probes, and use the ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE to enable the time probes. If you define ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE in your code, but forget to compile ACE with ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES, you will end up with linker errors.

Remember that ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES means that the ACE library will contain code for time probes. This is only useful when compiling ACE. ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBES means that the ACE_TIMEPROBE_* macros should spring to life.
