NAME

Bencher::Scenario::ParamsSah::Compile - Measure compilation speed

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of Bencher::Scenario::ParamsSah::Compile (from Perl distribution Bencher-Scenarios-ParamsSah), released on 2020-05-10.

SYNOPSIS

To run benchmark with default option:

 % bencher -m ParamsSah::Compile

To run module startup overhead benchmark:

 % bencher --module-startup -m ParamsSah::Compile

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

DESCRIPTION

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.

BENCHMARKED MODULES

Version numbers shown below are the versions used when running the sample benchmark.

Params::Sah 0.072

Type::Params 1.004004

Params::ValidationCompiler 0.30

BENCHMARK PARTICIPANTS

  • Params::Sah+Data::Sah (perl_code)

    Function call template:

BENCHMARK NOTES

Compilation of Sah schemas by Data::Sah (which is used by Params::Sah) is slower due to doing more stuffs like normalizing schema and other preparations. If needed, future version of Params::Sah or Data::Sah can cache compilation result particularly for commonly encountered simple schemas like 'int', ['array*', of=>'str*'], etc.
