* benchtests: Add include-sources directive.Torvald Riegel2013-10-101-2/+5
| | | | | | This adds the "include-sources" directive to scripts/bench.pl. This allows for including source code (vs including headers, which might get a different search path) after the inclusion of any headers.
* Add more directives to benchmark input filesSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-10-071-17/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds some more directives to the benchmark inputs file, moving functionality from the Makefile and making the code generation script a bit cleaner. The function argument and return types that were earlier added as variables in the makefile and passed to the script via command line arguments are now the 'args' and 'ret' directive respectively. 'args' should be a colon separated list of argument types (skipped if the function doesn't accept any arguments) and 'ret' should be the return type. Additionally, an 'includes' directive may have a comma separated list of headers to include in the source. For example, the pow input file now looks like this: 42.0, 42.0 1.0000000000000020, 1.5 I did this to unclutter the benchtests Makefile a bit and eventually eliminate dependency of the tests on the Makefile and have tests depend on their respective include files only.
* Begin porting string performance tests to benchtestsSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-06-111-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the initial support for string function performance tests, along with copying tests for memcpy and memcpy-ifunc as proof of concept. The string function benchmarks perform operations at different alignments and for different sizes and compare performance between plain operations and the optimized string operations. Due to this their output is incompatible with the function benchmarks where we're interested in fastest time, throughput, etc. In future, the correctness checks in the benchmark tests can be removed. Same goes for the performance measurements in the string/test-*.
* Add a README for benchtestsSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-05-211-0/+74
Move instructions from the Makefile here and expand on them.
