Function std.datetime.benchmark

The old benchmarking functionality in std.datetime (which uses TickDuration) has been deprecated. Use what's in std.datetime.stopwatch instead. It uses MonoTime and Duration. See benchmark. This symbol will be removed from the documentation in October 2018 and fully removed from Phobos in October 2019.

TickDuration[fun.length] benchmark(fun...) (
  uint n
);

Benchmarks code for speed assessment and comparison.

Parameters

NameDescription
fun aliases of callable objects (e.g. function names). Each should take no arguments.
n The number of times each function is to be executed.

Returns

The amount of time (as a TickDuration) that it took to call each function n times. The first value is the length of time that it took to call fun[0] n times. The second value is the length of time it took to call fun[1] n times. Etc.

Note that casting the TickDurations to Durations will make the results easier to deal with (and it may change in the future that benchmark will return an array of Durations rather than TickDurations).

Example

import std.conv : to;
int a;
void f0() {}
void f1() {auto b = a;}
void f2() {auto b = to!string(a);}
auto r = benchmark!(f0, f1, f2)(10_000);
auto f0Result = to!Duration(r[0]); // time f0 took to run 10,000 times
auto f1Result = to!Duration(r[1]); // time f1 took to run 10,000 times
auto f2Result = to!Duration(r[2]); // time f2 took to run 10,000 times
