//! Benchmarks that compare TinyVec to SmallVec //! //! All the following commentary is based on the latest nightly at the time: //! rustc 1.55.0 (c8dfcfe04 2021-09-06). //! //! Some of these benchmarks are just a few instructions, so we put our own for loop inside //! the criterion::Bencher::iter call. This seems to improve the stability of measurements, and it //! has the wonderful side effect of making the emitted assembly easier to follow. Some of these //! benchmarks are totally inlined so that there are no calls at all in the hot path, so finding //! this for loop is an easy way to find your way around the emitted assembly. //! //! The clear method is cheaper to call for arrays of elements without a Drop impl, so wherever //! possible we reuse a single object in the benchmark loop, with a clear + black_box on each //! iteration in an attempt to not make that visible to the optimizer. //! //! We always call black_box(&v), instead of v = black_box(v) because the latter does a move of the //! inline array, which is linear in the size of the array and thus varies based on the array type //! being benchmarked, and this move can be more expensive than the function we're trying to //! benchmark. //! //! We also black_box the input to each method call. This has a significant effect on the assembly //! emitted, for example if we do not black_box the range we iterate over in the ::push benchmarks, //! the loop is unrolled. It's not entirely clear if it's better to black_box the iterator that //! yields the items being pushed, or to black_box at a deeper level: v.push(black_box(i)) for //! example. Anecdotally, it seems like the latter approach produces unreasonably bad assembly. //! use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion}; use smallvec::SmallVec; use std::iter::FromIterator; use tinyvec::TinyVec; const ITERS: usize = 10_000; macro_rules!
