MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Write a function (say foo) that invokes a function pointer (bar) in a loop for n times. Then invoke the foo() function for several times, and measure the time consumed for each invocation.

The measured time increases after two rounds of foo() invocation.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Write a function (say foo) that invokes a function pointer (bar) in a loop for n times. Then invoke the foo() function for several times, and measure the time consumed for each invocation.

The measured time increases after two rounds of foo() invocation.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
It is expected to take the same amount of time fo each invocation of foo().
ACTUAL -
Start
Round 1: 5 ms
Round 2: 29 ms
Round 3: 3205 ms
Round 4: 3231 ms
Round 5: 3185 ms
Round 6: 3223 ms
Done
