timeit 0.1.2

//! This crate provides macros that make it easy to benchmark blocks of code. It is inspired and
//! named after timeit from Python.
//!
//! Example:
//!
//! ```
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate timeit;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     timeit!({
//!         let mut x: Vec<u64> = Vec::new();
//!         for i in 0..1000 {
//!             x.push(i);
//!         }
//!     });
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This will output something like:
//!
//! ```text
//! 10000 loops: 2.4843 µs
//! ```
//!
//! It will determine the number of loops automatically. To run a specified number of loops and
//! save the elapsed time to a variable, use the `timeit_loops!` macro:
//!
//! ```
//! let sec = timeit_loops!(100, {
//!     let mut x: Vec<u64> = Vec::new();
//!     for i in 0..1000 {
//!         x.push(i);
//!     }
//! });
//! ```
