//! Perf profiler for Zed tests. Outputs timings of tests marked with the `#[perf]`
//! attribute to stdout in Markdown. See the documentation of `util_macros::perf`
//! for usage details on the actual attribute.
//!
//! # Setup
//! Make sure `hyperfine` is installed and in the shell path.
//!
//! # Usage
//! Calling this tool rebuilds the targeted crate(s) with some cfg flags set for the
//! perf proc macro *and* enables optimisations (`release-fast` profile), so expect
//! it to take a little while.
//!
//! To test an individual crate, run:
//! ```sh
//! cargo perf-test -p $CRATE
//! ```
//!
//! To test everything (which will be **VERY SLOW**), run:
//! ```sh
//! cargo perf-test --workspace
//! ```
//!
//! Some command-line parameters are also recognised by this profiler. To filter
//! out all tests below a certain importance (e.g. `important`), run:
//! ```sh
//! cargo perf-test $WHATEVER -- --important
//! ```
//!
//! Similarly, to skip outputting progress to the command line, pass `-- --quiet`.
//! These flags can be combined.
//!
//! ## Comparing runs
//! Passing `--json=ident` will save per-crate run files in `.perf-runs`, e.g.
//! `cargo perf-test -p gpui -- --json=blah` will result in `.perf-runs/blah.gpui.json`
//! being created (unless no tests were run). These results can be automatically
//! compared. To do so, run `cargo perf-compare new-ident old-ident`.
//!
//! To save the markdown output to a file instead, run `cargo perf-compare --save=$FILE
//! new-ident old-ident`.
//!
//! NB: All files matching `.perf-runs/ident.*.json` will be considered when
//! doing this comparison, so ensure there aren't leftover files in your `.perf-runs`
//! directory that might match that!
//!
//! # Notes
//! This should probably not be called manually unless you're working on the profiler
//! itself; use the `cargo perf-test` alias (after building this crate) instead.
