# Benchmark
## Build capstone
```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
#This last command is also where you can pass additional CMake configuration flags
#using `-D<key>=<value>`. Then to build use:
cmake --build . --config Release
cd ..
```
## Build benchmark
```bash
cd suite/benchmark
make
```
## test_iter_benchmark
```bash
./test_iter_benchmark
```
## test_file_benchmark
```bash
./test_file_benchmark
```
The optional `test_file_benchmark` arguments are:
- `[loop-count]` = optional loop count. Total number of bytes decoded and formatted is `<code-len> * [loop-count]`
- `<code-offset>` = offset of the code section (in decimal or 0x hex)
- `<code-len>` = length of the code section (in decimal or 0x hex)
- `<filename>` = 64-bit x86 binary file to decode and format
