Module molt_shell::bench

Molt Benchmark Harness

A Molt benchmark script is a Molt script containing benchmarks of Molt code. Each benchmark is a call of the Molt benchmark command provided by the molt_shell::bench module. The benchmarks are executed in the context of the the application's molt::Interp (and so can benchmark application-specific commands).

The harness executes each benchmark many times and retains the average run-time in microseconds. The molt-app tool provides access to the test harness for a standard Molt interpreter.

See the Molt Book (or the Molt benchmark suite) for how to write benchmarks and examples of benchmark scripts.
