This API is akin to the MemoryManager API and lets tools provide
their own profiler which is wrapped in the same way MemoryManager is
wrapped. Namely, the profiler provides Start/Stop methods that are called
at the start/end of running the benchmark in a separate pass.

* Rewrite complexity_test to use (hardcoded) manual time
This test is fundamentally flaky, because it tried to read tea leafs,
and is inherently misbehaving in CI environments,
since there are unmitigated sources of noise.
That being said, the computed Big-O also depends on the `--benchmark_min_time=`
Fixes https://github.com/google/benchmark/issues/272
* Correctly compute Big-O for manual timings. Fixes#1758.
* complexity_test: do more stuff in empty loop
* Make all empty loops be a bit longer empty
Looks like on windows, some of these tests still fail,
i guess clock precision is too small.
* Add support for Alpha architecture
As documented, the real cycle counter is unsafe to use here, because it
is a 32-bit integer which wraps every ~4s. Use gettimeofday instead,
which has a limitation of a low-precision real-time-clock (~1ms), but no
wrapping. Passes test suite.
Support parsing /proc/cpuinfo on Alpha
tabular_test: add a missing DoNotOptimize call
Test coverage isn't great, but not worse than the existing one.
You'd think `BENCHMARK_CAPTURE` would suffice,
but you can't pass `func<targs>` to it (due to the `<` and `>`),
and when passing `(func<targs>)` we get issues with brackets.
So i'm not sure if we can fully avoid this helper.
That being said, if there is only a single template argument,
`BENCHMARK_CAPTURE()` works fine if we avoid using function name.
* CMake: `get_git_version()`: just use `--dirty` flag of `git describe`
* CMake: move version normalization out of `get_git_version()`
Mainly, i want `get_git_version()` to return true version,
not something sanitized.
* JSON reporter: store library version and schema version in `context`
* Tools: discard inputs with unexpected `json_schema_version`
* Extract version string into `GetBenchmarkVersiom()`

We used assert() a lot in tests and that can cause build breakages in some of the opt builds (since assert() are removed)
it's not practical to sprinkle "(void)" everywhere so I think setting this warning option is the best option for now.
* Make json and csv output consistent.
Currently, the --benchmark_format=csv option does not output the correct value for the cv statistics. Also, the json output should not contain a time unit for the cv statistics.
* fix formatting
* undo json change

There are three major compilers on Windows targeting the MSVC ABI (i.e.
linking with microsofts STL etc.):
- `MSVC`
- `clang-cl` aka clang with the MSVC compatible CLI
- `clang++` aka clang with gcc compatible CLI
The cmake variable `MSVC` is only set for the first two as it defined in
terms of the CLI interface provided:
> Set to true when the compiler is some version of Microsoft Visual
> C++ or another compiler simulating the Visual C++ cl command-line syntax.
(from cmake docs)
For many of the tests in the library its the ABI that matters not the
cmdline, so check `CMAKE_CXX_SIMULATE_ID` too, if it is `MSVC` the
current compiler is targeting the MSVC ABI. This handles `clang++`
* test: Use gtest_main only when needed
There are two types of tests. `*_gtest.cc` files use `gtest` and
`gtest_main`. `*_test.cc` files define their own main.
Only depend on `gtest`/`gtest_main` when needed. This is similar
to what `CMakeLists.txt` does.
* comment-only: gunit => gtest
* Fix typo
* State: Initialize counters with kAvgIteration in constructor
Previously, `counters` was updated in `PauseTiming()` with
`counters[name] += Counter(measurement, kAvgIteration)`.
The first `counters[name]` call inserts a counter with no flags.
There is no `operator+=` for `Counter`, so the insertion is done
by converting the `Counter` to a `double`, then constructing a
`Counter` to insert from the `double`, which drops the flags.
Pre-insert the `Counter` with the correct flags, then only
update `Counter::value`.
Introduced in 1c64a36 ([perf-counters] Fix pause/resume (#1643)).
* perf_counters_test.cc: Don't divide by iterations
Perf counters are now divided by iterations, so dividing again
in the test is wrong.
* State: Fix shadowed param error
* benchmark.cc: Fix clang-tidy error

* [perf-counters] Fix pause/resume
Using `state.PauseTiming() / state.ResumeTiming()` was broken.
Thanks [@virajbshah] for the the repro testcase.
* ran clang-format over the whole perf_counters_test.cc
* Remove check that perf counters are 0 on `Pause`, since `Pause`/`Resume`
sequences would cause a non-0 counter value
* both upper and lower bound for the with/without resume counters

* Address warnings on NVIDIA nvc++
Types of warnings were being generated:
1. Deprecated warnings - solved by defining the relevant BENCHMARK_*
macros for nvc++ and adding pragma suppress on a couple of .cc files
2. Setup/TearDown const vs non-const partial override - solved by
adding non-const version
3. Static but not referenced - added diagnostic suppress for that file
* Modified manually to comply with CD/CI
* Revert partial override
* Suppress warnings from tests if compiler is NVHPC

* Refactoring of PerfCounters infrastructure
The main feature in this pull request is the removal of the static
sharing of PerfCounters and instead creating them at the top
`RunBenchmarks()` function where all benchmark runners are created. A
single PerfCountersMeasurement object is created and then shared with
all the new BenchmarkRunners objects, one per existing benchmark.
Other features conflated here in this PR are:
- Added BENCHMARK_DONT_OPTIMIZE macro in global scope
- Removal of the `IsValid()` query, being replaced by checking the
number of remaining counters after validity tests
- Refactoring of all GTests to reflect the changes and new semantics
- extra comments throughout the new code to clarify intent
It was extremely hard to separate all those features in different PRs
as requested since they are so interdependent on each other so I'm just
pushing them altogether and asking for forgiveness.
This PR comes replacing PRs 1555 and 1558 which have been closed.
* Fixed whitespace issue with clang-format
My clang-format insists in deleting this single white space on line 601
while Github's clang format breaks when it is added. I had to disable
format-on-save to check-in this revert change.
I'm using clang 14.0.6.
* Filter performance counter names, not invalidate all
Currently, the performance counters are validated while they
are being created and one failure returns NoCounters(), ie it
effecitvely invalidates all the counters.
I would like to propose a new behavior: filter instead. If an
invalid name is added to the counter list, or if that particular
counter is not supported on this platform, that counter is dropped
from the list and an error messages is created, while all the
other counters remain active.
This will give testers a peace of mind that if one mistake is made
or if something is changed or removed from libpfm, their entire
test will not be invalidated. This feature gives more tolerance
with respect to versioning.
Another positive is that testers can now input a superset of all
desired counters for all platforms they support and just let
Benchmark drop all those that are not supported, although it will
create quite a lot of noise down the line, in which case perhaps
we should drop silently or make a consolidated, single error line
but this was not implemented in this change set.
* Removed unused helper type.
* Implement unlimited number of performance counters
Linux performance counters will limit the number of hardware
counters per reading group. For that reason the implementation of
PerfCounters is limited to 3. However if only software counters
are added, there is no reason to limit the counters. For hardware
counters, we create multiple groups and store a vector or leaders
in the PerfCounters object. When reading, there is an extra time
waste by iterating through all the group leaders. However this
should be the same performance as with today. Reading is done by
groups and it had to be heavily adjusted with the logic being
moved to PerfCounterValues. I created a test for x86-64 and took
care of filtering out the events in case it runs in a platform
that does not support those counters - the test will not fail. The
current tests were already failing (ReOpenExistingCounters,
CreateExistingMeasurements and MultiThreaded) on the main branch
and they continue to fail after this implementation - I did not
fix those not to conflate all here.
* Moved the PerfCounterValues::Read() implementation from header to body.
* Added missing implementation of PerfCounters::IsCounterSupported when HAVE_LIBPFM is not defined.
* Changed comments to reflect the implementation
* Removed arg name so it does not generate an error when HAVE_LIBPBM is not defined.
* Made loop counter a const reference for clang-tidy
* Added missig BENCHMARK_EXPORT to PerfCounterValues
* Allow specifying number of iterations via --benchmark_min_time.
Make the flag accept two new suffixes:
+ <integer>x: number of iterations
+ <floag>s: minimum number of seconds.
This matches the internal benchmark API.
* forgot to change flag type to string
* used tagged union instead of std::variant, which is not available pre C++14
* update decl in benchmark_runner.h too
* fixed errors
* refactor
* backward compat
* typo
* use IterationCount type
* fixed test
* const_cast
* ret type
* remove extra _
* debug
* fixed bug from reporting that caused the new configs not to be included in the final report
* addressed review comments
* restore unnecessary changes in test/BUILD
* fix float comparisons warnings from Release builds
* clang format
* fix visibility warning
* remove misc file
* removed backup files
* addressed review comments
* fix shorten in warning
* use suffix for existing min_time specs to silent warnings in tests
* fix leaks
* use default min-time value in flag decl for consistency
* removed double kMinTimeDecl from benchmark.h
* dont need to preserve errno
* add death tests
* Add BENCHMARK_EXPORT to hopefully fix missing def errors
* only enable death tests in debug mode because bm_check is no-op in release mode
* guard death tests with additional support-check macros
* Add additional guard to prevent running in Release mode

Some linux distributions no longer provide `python` binary and require
usage of `python3` instead. This changes the scripts here and uses
cmake `find_package(Python3` when running python.
