For whom want to test it: here is the test code I used.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

static volatile int x = 0;

int funcc(void)
{
     struct timeval tv1, tv2;
     unsigned long us1, us2;

     gettimeofday(&tv1, NULL);

     us1 = tv1.tv_sec * 1000000 + tv1.tv_usec;

     while(1) {
         x = x + 100;
         gettimeofday(&tv2, NULL);
         us2 = tv2.tv_sec * 1000000 + tv2.tv_usec;
         if (us2 - us1 >= 3000000)
             break;
     }
     return x;
}
int funcb(void) { return funcc();}
int funca(void) { return funcb();}
int main() { funca(); return 0;}
