As discussed with @dominichamon and @dbabokin, sugar is nice.
Well, maybe not for the health, but it's sweet.
Alright, enough puns.
A special care needs to be applied not to break csv reporter. UGH.
We end up shedding some code over this.
We no longer specially pretty-print them, they are printed just like the rest of custom counters.
Fixes#627.
This is related to @BaaMeow's work in https://github.com/google/benchmark/pull/616 but is not based on it.
Two new fields are tracked, and dumped into JSON:
* If the run is an aggregate, the aggregate's name is stored.
It can be RMS, BigO, mean, median, stddev, or any custom stat name.
* The aggregate-name-less run name is additionally stored.
I.e. not some name of the benchmark function, but the actual
name, but without the 'aggregate name' suffix.
This way one can group/filter all the runs,
and filter by the particular aggregate type.
I *might* need this for further tooling improvement.
Or maybe not.
But this is certainly worthwhile for custom tooling.
This is *only* exposed in the JSON. Not in CSV, which is deprecated.
This *only* supposed to track these two states.
An additional field could later track which aggregate this is,
specifically (statistic name, rms, bigo, ...)
The motivation is that we already have ReportAggregatesOnly,
but it affects the entire reports, both the display,
and the reporters (json files), which isn't ideal.
It would be very useful to have a 'display aggregates only' option,
both in the library's console reporter, and the python tooling,
This will be especially needed for the 'store separate iterations'.
* format all documents according to contributor guidelines and specifications
use clang-format on/off to stop formatting when it makes excessively poor decisions
* format all tests as well, and mark blocks which change too much
* Rename StringXxx to StrXxx in string_util.h and its users
This makes the naming consistent within string_util and moves is the
Abseil convention.
* Style guide is 2 spaces before end of line "//" comments
* Rename StrPrintF/StringPrintF to StrFormat for absl compatibility.
* Print the executable name as part of the context.
A common use case of the library is to run two different
versions of a benchmark to compare them. In my experience
this often means compiling a benchmark twice, renaming
one of the executables, and then running the executables
back-to-back. In this case the name of the executable
is important contextually information. Unfortunately the
benchmark does not report this information.
This patch adds the executable name to the context reported
by the benchmark.
* attempt to fix tests on Windows
* attempt to fix tests on Windows
* Improve CPU Cache info reporting -- Add Windows support.
This patch does a couple of thing regarding CPU Cache reporting.
First, it adds an implementation on Windows. Second it fixes
the JSONReporter to correctly (and actually) output the CPU
configuration information.
And finally, third, it detects and reports the number of
physical CPU's that share the same cache.
* Refactor System information collection.
This patch refactors the system information collection,
and in particular information about the target CPU. The
motivation is to make it easier to access CPU information,
and easier to add new information as need be.
This patch additionally adds information about the cache
sizes of the CPU.
* Address review comments: Clean up integer types.
This commit cleans up the integer types used in ValueUnion to
follow the Google style guide.
Additionally it adds a BENCHMARK_UNREACHABLE macro to assist
in documenting/catching unreachable code paths.
* Rename ValueUnion accessors.
* Json reporter: passthrough fp, don't cast it to int; adjust tooling
Json output format is generally meant for further processing
using some automated tools. Thus, it makes sense not to
intentionally limit the precision of the values contained
in the report.
As it can be seen, FormatKV() for doubles, used %.2f format,
which was meant to preserve at least some of the precision.
However, before that function is ever called, the doubles
were already cast to the integer via RoundDouble()...
This is also the case for console reporter, where it makes
sense because the screen space is limited, and this reporter,
however the CSV reporter does output some( decimal digits.
Thus i can only conclude that the loss of the precision
was not really considered, so i have decided to adjust the
code of the json reporter to output the full fp precision.
There can be several reasons why that is the right thing
to do, the bigger the time_unit used, the greater the
precision loss, so i'd say any sort of further processing
(like e.g. tools/compare_bench.py does) is best done
on the values with most precision.
Also, that cast skewed the data away from zero, which
i think may or may not result in false- positives/negatives
in the output of tools/compare_bench.py
* Json reporter: FormatKV(double): address review note
* tools/gbench/report.py: skip benchmarks with different time units
While it may be useful to teach it to operate on the
measurements with different time units, which is now
possible since floats are stored, and not the integers,
but for now at least doing such a sanity-checking
is better than providing misinformation.
* Make Benchmark a single header library (but not header-only)
This patch refactors benchmark into a single header, to allow
for slightly easier usage.
The initial reason for the header split was to keep C++ library
components from being included by benchmark_api.h, making that
part of the library STL agnostic. However this has since changed
and there seems to be little reason to separate the reporters from
the rest of the library.
* Fix internal_macros.h
* Remove more references to macros.h
* Added user counters, and move use of bytes_processed and items_processed to user counter logic.
Each counter is a string-value pair. The counters were
made available through the State class. Two helper virtual
methods were added to the Fixture class to allow convenient
initialization and termination of the counters: InitState()
and TerminateState(). The reporting of the counters is buggy
and is still a work in progress, to be completed in the next commits.
