# A tool for analysing the performance of the code snippets found in
# t/perf/benchmarks or similar


=head1 NAME

bench.pl - Compare the performance of perl code snippets across multiple
perls.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # Basic: run the tests in t/perf/benchmarks against two or
    # more perls

    bench.pl [options] perlA[=labelA] perlB[=labelB] ...

    # run the tests against the same perl twice, with varying options

    bench.pl [options] perlA=bigint --args='-Mbigint' perlA=plain

    # Run bench on blead, saving results to file; then modify the blead
    # binary, and benchmark again, comparing against the saved results

    bench.pl [options] --write=blead.time ./perl=blead
    # ... hack hack hack, updating ./perl ...
    bench.pl --read=blead.time ./perl=hacked

    # You can also combine --read with --write and new benchmark runs

    bench.pl --read=blead.time --write=last.time -- ./perl=hacked

=head1 DESCRIPTION

By default, F<bench.pl> will run code snippets found in
F<t/perf/benchmarks> (or similar) under cachegrind, in order to calculate
how many instruction reads, data writes, branches, cache misses, etc. that
one execution of the snippet uses. Usually it will run them against two or
more perl executables and show how much each test has gotten better or
worse.

It is modelled on the F<perlbench> tool, but since it measures instruction
reads etc., rather than timings, it is much more precise and reproducible.
It is also considerably faster, and is capable of running tests in
parallel (with C<-j>). Rather than  displaying a single relative
percentage per test/perl combination, it displays values for 13 different
measurements, such as instruction reads, conditional branch misses etc.

There are options to write the raw data to a file, and to read it back.
This means that you can view the same run data in different views with
different selection and sort options. You can also use this mechanism
to save the results of timing one perl, and then read it back while timing
a modification, so that you don't have rerun the same tests on the same
perl over and over, or have two perl executables built at the same time.

The optional C<=label> after each perl executable is used in the display
output. If you are doing a two step benchmark then you should provide
a label for at least the "base" perl. If a label isn't specified, it
defaults to the name of the perl executable. Labels must be unique across
all current executables, plus any previous ones obtained via --read.

In its most general form, the specification of a perl executable is:

    path/perl=+mylabel --args='-foo -bar' --args='-baz' \
                       --env='A=a' --env='B=b'

This defines how to run the executable F<path/perl>. It has a label,
which due to the C<+>, is appended to the binary name to give a label of
C<path/perl=+mylabel> (without the C<+>, the label would be just
C<mylabel>).

It can be optionally followed by one or more C<--args> or C<--env>
switches, which specify extra command line arguments or environment
variables to use when invoking that executable. Each C<--env> switch
should be of the form C<--env=VARIABLE=value>. Any C<--arg> values are
concatenated to the eventual command line, along with the global
C<--perlargs> value if any. The above would cause a system() call looking
something like:

    PERL_HASH_SEED=0 A=a B=b valgrind --tool=cachegrind \
        path/perl -foo -bar -baz ....

=head1 OPTIONS

=head2 General options

=over 4

=item *

--action=I<foo>

What action to perform. The default is  I<grind>, which runs the benchmarks
using I<cachegrind> as the back end. The only other action at the moment is
I<selftest>, which runs some basic sanity checks and produces TAP output.

=item *

--debug

Enable debugging output.

=item *

---help

Display basic usage information.

=item *

-v
--verbose

Display progress information.

=back

=head2 Test selection options

=over 4

=item *

--tests=I<FOO>

Specify a subset of tests to run (or in the case of C<--read>, to read).
It may be either a comma-separated list of test names, or a regular
expression. For example

    --tests=expr::assign::scalar_lex,expr::assign::2list_lex
    --tests=/^expr::/


=back

=head2 Input options

=over 4


=item *

-r I<file>
--read=I<file>

Read in saved data from a previous C<--write> run from the specified file.
If C<--tests> is present too, then only tests matching those conditions
are read from the file.

C<--read> may be specified multiple times, in which case the results
across all files are aggregated. The list of test names from each file
(after filtering by C<--tests>) must be identical across all files.

This list of tests is used instead of that obtained from the normal
benchmark file (or C<--benchfile>) for any benchmarks that are run.

The perl labels must be unique across all read in test results.

Requires C<JSON::PP> to be available.

=back

=head2 Benchmarking options

Benchmarks will be run for all perls specified on the command line.
These options can be used to modify the benchmarking behavior:

=over 4

=item *

--autolabel

Generate a unique label for every executable which doesn't have an
explicit C<=label>. Works by stripping out common prefixes and suffixes
from the executable names, then for any non-unique names, appending
C<-0>, C<-1>, etc. text directly surrounding the unique part which look
like version numbers (i.e. which match C</[0-9\.]+/>) aren't stripped.
For example,

    perl-5.20.0-threaded  perl-5.22.0-threaded  perl-5.24.0-threaded

stripped to unique parts would be:

    20  22  24

but is actually only stripped down to:

    5.20.0  5.22.0  5.24.0

If the final results are plain integers, they are prefixed with "p"
to avoid looking like column numbers to switches like C<--norm=2>.


=item *

--benchfile=I<foo>

The path of the file which contains the benchmarks (F<t/perf/benchmarks>
by default).

=item *

--grindargs=I<foo>

Optional command-line arguments to pass to all cachegrind invocations.

=item *

-j I<N>
--jobs=I<N>

Run I<N> jobs in parallel (default 1). This determines how many cachegrind
process will run at a time, and should generally be set to the number
of CPUs available.

=item *

--perlargs=I<foo>

Optional command-line arguments to pass to every perl executable.  This
may optionaly be combined with C<--args> switches following individual
perls. For example:

    bench.pl --perlargs='-Ilib -It/lib' .... \
        perlA --args='-Mstrict' \
        perlB --args='-Mwarnings'

would cause the invocations

    perlA -Ilib -It/lib -Mstrict
    perlB -Ilib -It/lib -Mwarnings

=back

=head2 Output options

Any results accumulated via --read or by running benchmarks can be output
in any or all of these three ways:

=over 4

=item *

-w I<file>
--write=I<file>

Save the raw data to the specified file. It can be read back later with
C<--read>. If combined with C<--read> then the output file will be
the merge of the file read and any additional perls added on the command
line.

Requires C<JSON::PP> to be available.

=item *

--bisect=I<field,minval,maxval>

Exit with a zero status if the named field is in the specified range;
exit with 1 otherwise. It will complain if more than one test or perl has
been specified. It is intended to be called as part of a bisect run, to
determine when something changed.  For example,

    bench.pl -j 8 --tests=foo --bisect=Ir,100,105 --perlargs=-Ilib \
        ./miniperl

might be called from bisect to find when the number of instruction reads
for test I<foo> falls outside the range 100..105.

=item *

--show

Display the results to stdout in human-readable form.  This is enabled by
default, except with --write and --bisect. The following sub-options alter
how --show behaves.

=over 4

=item *

--average

Only display the overall average, rather than the results for each
individual test.

=item *

--compact=I<perl>

Display the results for a single perl executable in a compact form.
Which perl to display is specified in the same manner as C<--norm>.

=item *

--fields=I<a,b,c>

Display only the specified fields; for example,

    --fields=Ir,Ir_m,Ir_mm

If only one field is selected, the output is in more compact form.

=item *

--norm=I<foo>

Specify which perl column in the output to treat as the 100% norm.
It may be:

=over

* a column number (0..N-1),

* a negative column number (-1..-N) which counts from the right (so -1 is
the right-most column),

* or a perl executable name,

* or a perl executable label.

=back

It defaults to the leftmost column.

=item *

--raw

Display raw data counts rather than percentages in the outputs. This
allows you to see the exact number of intruction reads, branch misses etc.
for each test/perl combination. It also causes the C<AVERAGE> display
per field to be calculated based on the average of each tests's count
rather than average of each percentage. This means that tests with very
high counts will dominate.

=item *

--sort=I<field:perl>

Order the tests in the output based on the value of I<field> in the
column I<perl>. The I<perl> value is as per C<--norm>. For example

    bench.pl --sort=Dw:perl-5.20.0 \
        perl-5.16.0 perl-5.18.0 perl-5.20.0

Usage: $0 [options] -- perl[=label] ...

General options:

  --action=foo       What action to perform [default: grind]:
                        grind      run the code under cachegrind
                        selftest   perform a selftest; produce TAP output
  --debug            Enable verbose debugging output.
  --help             Display this help.
  -v|--verbose       Display progress information.


Selection:

  --tests=FOO        Select only the specified tests for reading, benchmarking
                       and display.  FOO may be either a list of tests or
                       a pattern: 'foo,bar,baz' or '/regex/';
                       [default: all tests].

Input:

  -r|--read=file     Read in previously saved data from the specified file.
                        May be repeated, and be used together with new
                        benchmarking to create combined results.

Benchmarking:
  Benchmarks will be run for any perl specified on the command line.
  These options can be used to modify the benchmarking behavior:

  --autolabel        generate labels for any executables without one
  --benchfile=foo    File containing the benchmarks.
                         [default: t/perf/benchmarks].
  --grindargs=foo    Optional command-line args to pass to cachegrind.
  -j|--jobs=N        Run N jobs in parallel [default 1].
  --perlargs=foo     Optional command-line args to pass to each perl to run.

Output:
  Any results accumulated via --read or running benchmarks can be output
  in any or all of these three ways:

  -w|--write=file    Save the raw data to the specified file (may be read
                       back later with --read).

  --bisect=f,min,max Exit with a zero status if the named field f is in
                       the specified min..max range; exit 1 otherwise.
                       Produces no other output. Only legal if a single
                       benchmark test has been specified.

  --show             Display the results to stdout in human-readable form.
                       This is enabled by default, except with --write and
                       --bisect. The following sub-options alter how
                       --show behaves.

    --average          Only display average, not individual test results.
    --compact=perl     Display the results of a single perl in compact form.
                       Which perl specified like --norm
    --fields=a,b,c     Display only the specified fields (e.g. Ir,Ir_m,Ir_mm).
    --norm=perl        Which perl column to treat as 100%; may be a column
                         number (0..N-1) or a perl executable name or label;
                         [default: 0].
    --raw              Display raw data counts rather than percentages.
    --sort=field:perl  Sort the tests based on the value of 'field' in the
                       column 'perl'. The perl value is as per --norm.


The command line ends with one or more specified perl executables,
which will be searched for in the current \$PATH. Each binary name may
have an optional =LABEL appended, which will be used rather than the
executable name in output. The labels must be unique across all current
executables and previous runs obtained via --read. Each executable may
optionally be succeeded by --args= and --env= to specify per-executable
arguments and environmenbt variables:

    perl-5.24.0=strict --args='-Mwarnings -Mstrict' --env='FOO=foo' \
    perl-5.24.0=plain
