* Fix un-initted error in test.
Found by -Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized
* Update spec_arg_test.cc
* additional change:
- Change the API on GetBenchmarkFilter and the `spec` to std::string because google C++ styleguide internally kind of discouraged using raw const char*
* use docker container for ubuntu-16.04 builds
* install some bits
* no sudo in docker container
* cmake, not cmake3
* include perfcounters
* still no sudo in docker containers
* yes please, apt
* [RFC] Adding API for setting/getting benchmark_filter flag?
This PR is more of a Request-for-comment - open to other ideas/suggestions as well.
Details:
This flag has different implementations(absl vs benchmark) and since the proposal to add absl as a dependency was rejected, it would be nice to have a reliable (and less hacky) way to access this flag internally.
(Actually, reading it isn't much a problem but setting it is).
Internally, we have a sizeable number users to use absl::SetFlags to set this flag. This will not work with benchmark-flags.
Another motivation is that not all users use the command line flag. Some prefer to programmatically set this value.
* fixed build errors
* fix lints again
* per discussion: add additional RunSpecifiedBenchmarks instead.
* add tests
* fix up tests
* clarify comment
* fix stray : in test
* more assertion in test
* add test file to test/CMakeLists.txt
* more test
* make test ISO C++ compliant
* fix up BUILD file to pass the flag
* Allow template arguments to be specifed directly on the BENCHMARK macro/
Use cases:
- more convenient (than having to use a separate BENCHMARK_TEMPLATE)
- feature parity with our internal library.
* fix tests
* updated docs
In #1238, one of MemoryManager's Stop methods was marked as deprecated
and this method is used in the same header. This change generated
-Wdeprecated-declarations warning on every file that includes
"benchmark.h". Use gcc's diagnostics to fix this warning.
WebRTC uses Google Benchmarks as a dependency and uses Chromium's build
infrastructure. Chromium is compiled using clang-cl on Windows, and the
-Wdeprecated-declarations warning is triggered. Because clang-cl accepts
gcc's diagnostic prama and defines the __clang__ macro,
using it can solve this issue.
Bug: webrtc:13280
* Introduce Coefficient of variation aggregate
I believe, it is much more useful / use to understand,
because it is already normalized by the mean,
so it is not affected by the duration of the benchmark,
unlike the standard deviation.

* Be consistent, it's CV, not 'rel std dev'
* Statistics: add support for percentage unit in addition to time
I think, `stddev` statistic is useful, but confusing.
What does it mean if `stddev` of `1ms` is reported?
Is that good or bad? If the `median` is `1s`,
then that means that the measurements are pretty noise-less.
And what about `stddev` of `100ms` is reported?
If the `median` is `1s` - awful, if the `median` is `10s` - good.
And hurray, there is just the statistic that we need:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_variation
But, naturally, that produces a value in percents,
but the statistics are currently hardcoded to produce time.
So this refactors thinkgs a bit, and allows a percentage unit for statistics.
I'm not sure whether or not `benchmark` would be okay
with adding this `RSD` statistic by default,
but regales, that is a separate patch.

* Address review notes
The test used to work with scipy 1.6, but does not work with 1.7.1
I believe this is because of https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/4933
Since there doesn't appear that there is anything wrong with how
we call the `mannwhitneyu()`, i guess we should just expect the new values.
Notably, the tests now fail with earlier scipy versions.
This slightly prettifies the CMake's `feature_summary()` output,
should the library be built as part of some project that then prints
the CMake summary.
Refactoring in 201b981a moved most of the documentation from `README.md` to `docs/user_guide.md`. Some links from `README.md` to other `docs/*.md` files ended up unchanged in `docs/user_guide.md`. Those links were now broken as they did not link from outside the `docs` directory anymore, but from inside it. Removing the leading `docs/` for these links fixes this.
* [benchmark] Introduce accessors for currently public data members `threads` and `thread_index`
Also deprecate the direct access to these fields.
Motivations:
Our internal library provides accessors for those fields because the styleguide disalows accessing classes' data members directly (even if they're const).
There has been a discussion to simply move internal library to make its fields public similarly to the OSS version here, however, the concern is that these kinds of direct access would prevent many types of future design changes (eg how/whether the values would be stored in the data member)
I think the concensus in the end is that we'd change the external library for this case.
AFAIK, there are three important third_party users that we'd need to migrate: tcmalloc, abseil and tensorflow.
Please let me know if I'm missing anyone else.
