This commit adds a small section on how to install and build Python
bindings wheels to the docs, as well as a link to it from the main readme.
Notes were added that clearly state availability of Python wheels based
on Python version and OS/architecture combinations.
For the guide to build a wheel from source, the best practice of
creating a virtual environment and activating it before build was
detailed. Also, a note on the required installation of Bazel was added,
with a link to the official docs on installation.
This can be used together with ArgsProduct() to allow multiple ranges
with different multipliers and mixing dense and sparse ranges.
Example:
BENCHMARK(MyTest)->ArgsProduct({
CreateRange(0, 1024, /*multi=*/32),
CreateRange(0, 100, /*multi=*/4),
CreateDenseRange(0, 4, /*step=*/1)
});

Inspired by the original implementation by Hai Huang @haih-g
from https://github.com/google/benchmark/pull/1105.
The original implementation had design deficiencies that
weren't really addressable without redesign, so it was reverted.
In essence, the original implementation consisted of two separateable parts:
* reducing the amount time each repetition is run for, and symmetrically increasing repetition count
* running the repetitions in random order
While it worked fine for the usual case, it broke down when user would specify repetitions
(it would completely ignore that request), or specified per-repetition min time (while it would
still adjust the repetition count, it would not adjust the per-repetition time,
leading to much greater run times)
Here, like i was originally suggesting in the original review, i'm separating the features,
and only dealing with a single one - running repetitions in random order.
Now that the runs/repetitions are no longer in-order, the tooling may wish to sort the output,
and indeed `compare.py` has been updated to do that: #1168.
It seems that by setting the /topic in freenode #googlebenchmark to point to libera I have angered the powers that be and we've been locked out of the channel. Libera it is then.

* Add API to benchmark allowing for custom context to be added
Fixes#525
* add docs
* Add context flag output to JSON reporter
* Plumb everything into the global context.
* Add googletests for custom context
* update docs with duplicate key behaviour
* Add `benchmark_context` flag that allows per-run custom context.
Add support for key-value flags in general.
Added test for key-value flags.
Added `benchmark_context` flag.
Output content of `benchmark_context` to base reporter.
Solves the first part of #525.
* Docs and better help
* Support optional, user-directed collection of performance counters
The patch allows an engineer wishing to drill into the root causes
of a regression, for example. Currently, only single threaded runs
are supported. The feature is a build-time opt in, and then a runtime
opt in.
The engineer may run the benchmark executable, passing a list of
performance counter names (using libpfm's naming scheme) at the
command line. The counter values will then be collected and reported
back as UserCounters.
This is different from #240 in that it is a benchmark user opt-in, and
the counter collection is transparent to the benchmark.
Currently, this is only supported on platforms where libpfm is
supported.

Build instructions needlessly referred to make when CMake offers
a command-line interface to abstract away from the specific build
system.
Furthermore, CMake offers command-line "tool mode" which performs basic
filesystem operations. While the syntax is a bit more verbose than
Linux commands it is platform-independent. Now the commands can be
copy-pasted on both Linux and Windows and will just work.
Finally, the Release build type is included in initial commands. A natural flow
for a new-comer is to read and execute the commands and only then learn
that one has to go back and redo them again this time with proper parameters.
Now instead the parameters are only explained later but present already in the
initial commands.
* Add State::error_occurred()
* Relax CHECK condition in benchmark_runner.cc
If the benchmark state contains an error, do not expect any iterations has been run.
This allows using SkipWithError() and return early from the benchmark function.
* README.md: document new possible usage of SkipWithError()
* add Jordan Williams to both CONTRIBUTORS and AUTHORS
* alias benchmark libraries
Provide aliased CMake targets for the benchmark and benchmark_main targets.
The alias targets are namespaced under benchmark::, which is the namespace when they are exported.
I chose not to use either the PROJECT_NAME or the namespace variable but to hard-code the namespace.
This is because the benchmark and benchmark_main targets are hard-coded by name themselves.
Hard-coding the namespace is also much cleaner and easier to read.
* link to aliased benchmark targets
It is safer to link against namespaced targets because of how CMake interprets the double colon.
Typo's will be caught by CMake at configuration-time instead of during compile / link time.
* document the provided alias targets
* add "Usage with CMake" section in documentation
This section covers linking against the alias/import CMake targets and including them using either find_package or add_subdirectory.
* format the "Usage with CMake" README section
Added a newline after the "Usage with CMake" section header.
Dropped the header level of the section by one to make it a direct subsection of the "Usage" section.
Wrapped lines to be no longer than 80 characters in length.
* Update with instructions to build under Visual Studio
Fixes Issue #634.
I spent 3 days trying to build this library under Visual Studio 2017, only to discover on has to link to `Shlwapi.lib`.
Became so frustrated with the docs that I added full build instructions for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and Intel Comiler 2015 and 2019.
* Update headings
While current counters can e.g. answer the question
"how many items is processed per second", it is impossible to get
it to tell "how many seconds it takes to process a single item".
The solution is to add a yet another modifier `kInvert`,
that is *always* considered last, which simply inverts the answer.
Fixes#781, #830, #848.
* Counter(): add 'one thousand' param.
Needed for https://github.com/google/benchmark/pull/654
Custom user counters are quite custom. It is not guaranteed
that the user *always* expects for these to have 1k == 1000.
If the counter represents bytes/memory/etc, 1k should be 1024.
Some bikeshedding points:
1. Is this sufficient, or do we really want to go full on
into custom types with names?
I think just the '1000' is sufficient for now.
2. Should there be a helper benchmark::Counter::Counter{1000,1024}()
static 'constructor' functions, since these two, by far,
will be the most used?
3. In the future, we should be somehow encoding this info into JSON.
* Counter(): use std::pair<> to represent 'one thousand'
* Counter(): just use a new enum with two values 1000 vs 1024.
Simpler is better. If someone comes up with a real reason
to need something more advanced, it can be added later on.
* Counter: just store the 1000 or 1024 in the One_K values directly
* Counter: s/One_K/OneK/
