Bencher compatibility layer for CodSpeed
</div>
## Installation
```sh
cargo add --dev codspeed-bencher-compat --rename bencher
```
> [!NOTE]
> This will install the `codspeed-bencher-compat` crate and rename it to `bencher` in your `Cargo.toml`.
> This way, you can keep your existing imports and the compatibility layer will take care of the rest.
>
> Using the compatibility layer won't change the behavior of your benchmark suite and Bencher will still run it as usual.
>
> If you prefer, you can also install `codspeed-bencher-compat` as is and change your imports to use this new crate name.
## Usage
Let's start with the example from the [Bencher documentation](https://docs.rs/bencher/latest/bencher/),
creating a benchmark suite for 2 simple functions (in `benches/example.rs`):
```rust
use bencher::{benchmark_group, benchmark_main, Bencher};
fn a(bench: &mut Bencher) {
bench.iter(|| {
(0..1000).fold(0, |x, y| x + y)
})
}
fn b(bench: &mut Bencher) {
const N: usize = 1024;
bench.iter(|| {
vec![0u8; N]
});
bench.bytes = N as u64;
}
benchmark_group!(benches, a, b);
benchmark_main!(benches);
```
The last step in creating the Bencher benchmark is to add the new benchmark target in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml title="Cargo.toml"
[[bench]]
name = "example"
harness = false
```
And that's it! You can now run your benchmark suite with CodSpeed:
```
$ cargo codspeed build
Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.12s
Finished built 1 benchmark suite(s)
$ cargo codspeed run
Collected 1 benchmark suite(s) to run
Running example
Using codspeed-bencher-compat v1.0.0 compatibility layer
NOTICE: codspeed is enabled, but no performance measurement will
be made since it's running in an unknown environment.
Checked: benches/example.rs::a (group: benches)
Checked: benches/example.rs::b (group: benches)
Done running bencher_example
Finished running 1 benchmark suite(s)
