This is related to @BaaMeow's work in https://github.com/google/benchmark/pull/616 but is not based on it.
Two new fields are tracked, and dumped into JSON:
* If the run is an aggregate, the aggregate's name is stored.
It can be RMS, BigO, mean, median, stddev, or any custom stat name.
* The aggregate-name-less run name is additionally stored.
I.e. not some name of the benchmark function, but the actual
name, but without the 'aggregate name' suffix.
This way one can group/filter all the runs,
and filter by the particular aggregate type.
I *might* need this for further tooling improvement.
Or maybe not.
But this is certainly worthwhile for custom tooling.
* format all documents according to contributor guidelines and specifications
use clang-format on/off to stop formatting when it makes excessively poor decisions
* format all tests as well, and mark blocks which change too much
* Support State::KeepRunningBatch().
State::KeepRunning() can take large amounts of time relative to quick
operations (on the order of 1ns, depending on hardware). For such
sensitive operations, it is recommended to run batches of repeated
operations.
This commit simplifies handling of total_iterations_. Rather than
predecrementing such that total_iterations_ == 1 signals that
KeepRunning() should exit, total_iterations_ == 0 now signals the
intention for the benchmark to exit.
* Create better fast path in State::KeepRunningBatch()
* Replace int parameter with size_t to fix signed mismatch warnings
* Ensure benchmark State has been started even on error.
* Simplify KeepRunningBatch()
* Support multiple ranges in the benchmark
google-benchmark library allows to provide up to two ranges to the
benchmark method (range_x and range_y). However, in many cases it's not
sufficient. The patch introduces multi-range features, so user can easily
define multiple ranges by passing a vector of integers, and access values
through the method range(i).
* Remove redundant API
Functions State::range_x() and State::range_y() have been removed. They should
be replaced by State::range(0) and State::range(1).
Functions Benchmark::ArgPair() and Benchmark::RangePair() have been removed.
They should be replaced by Benchmark::Args() and Benchmark::Ranges().
