* Add support for GTest based unit tests.
As Dominic and I have previously discussed, there is some
need/desire to improve the testing situation in Google Benchmark.
One step to fixing this problem is to make it easier to write
unit tests by adding support for GTest, which is what this patch does.
By default it looks for an installed version of GTest. However the
user can specify -DBENCHMARK_BUILD_EXTERNAL_GTEST=ON to instead
download, build, and use copy of gtest from source. This is
quite useful when Benchmark is being built in non-standard configurations,
such as against libc++ or in 32 bit mode.
- Remove target_include_directories of ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include to
fix error: Target "benchmark" INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property
contains path which is prefixed in the source directory.
* Add BENCHMARK_BUILD_32_BITS option and add builders to test it
* Attempt to fix travis configuration
* Make add_required_cxx_compiler_flag cause an error when the flag isn't supported
* add gcc-multilib dependancy on travis
* attempt to fix travis.yml parsing error
* Require g++-multilib instead of gcc-multilib
* Add 32 bit release configurations
* Attempt to fix libc++ travis build w/ 32 bits
* Work around CMake configuration failure on Travis
get_git_version CMake function uses 'git' command directly, instead of
GIT_EXECUTABLE variable. This causes CMake errors while generating
project files in environments, where 'git' command is not present
in PATH.
This patch adopts a new internal structure for how timings are performed.
Currently every iteration of a benchmark checks to see if it has been running
for an appropriate amount of time. Checking the clock introduces noise into
the timings and this can cause inconsistent output from each benchmark.
Now every iteration of a benchmark only checks an iteration count to see if it
should stop running. The iteration count is determined before hand by testing
the benchmark on a series of increasing iteration counts until a suitable count
is found. This increases the amount of time it takes to run the actual benchmarks
but it also greatly increases the accuracy of the results.
This patch introduces some breaking changes. The notable breaking changes are:
1. Benchmarks run on multiple threads no generate a report per thread. Instead
only a single report is generated.
2. ::benchmark::UseRealTime() was removed and replaced with State::UseRealTime().
libstdc++'s std::regex has (or had) a bug in std::regex::operator=(...) that
caused undefined behaviour. Clang will detect this and compile the function so
that it crashes at runtime. This patch tried to detect that bug during
configuration.
