NAME

Bencher::Scenario::ArgPassing::Mixed - Benchmark argument passing (mixed positional and named)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of Bencher::Scenario::ArgPassing::Mixed (from Perl distribution Bencher-Scenarios-ArgPassing), released on 2017-01-25.

SYNOPSIS

To run benchmark with default option:

 % bencher -m ArgPassing::Mixed

To run module startup overhead benchmark:

 % bencher --module-startup -m ArgPassing::Mixed

For more options (dump scenario, list/include/exclude/add participants, list/include/exclude/add datasets, etc), see bencher or run bencher --help.

DESCRIPTION

This scenario compares three style of passing mixed positional and named arguments:

 # hashref at the front
 func({named1=>1, named2=>2}, 'pos0', 'pos1', 'pos2');
 
 # optional hashref at the front. like the above but when there are no named
 # arguments, the hashref can be omitted
 func({named1=>1, named2=>2}, 'pos0', 'pos1', 'pos2');
 
 # positional then named as hash
 func('pos1', 'pos2', 'pos3', named1=>1, named2=>2);

Packaging a benchmark script as a Bencher scenario makes it convenient to include/exclude/add participants/datasets (either via CLI or Perl code), send the result to a central repository, among others . See Bencher and bencher (CLI) for more details.
