divan-macros

Fixed

• Divan::skip_exact behaved incorrectly in v0.1.19.

Changed

• Improved handling of internal code around filters and those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

Fixed

• Divan::skip_regex accidentally dropped regex_lite::Regex and behaved incorrectly in v0.1.19.

Fixed

• [cargo-nextest] no longer skips benchmarks with argument parameters ([#75]).

Changed

• Organized positive and negative filters into a split buffer.

Added

• Support for [cargo-nextest] running benchmarks as tests.

• [prelude] module for simplifying imports of [#[bench]][bench_attr], [#[bench_group]][bench_group_attr], [black_box], [black_box_drop], [AllocProfiler], [Bencher], and [Divan].

• Support wasi and emscripten targets.

Changed

• Set [MSRV] to 1.80 for [LazyLock] and new size_of prelude import.

• Reduced thread pool memory usage by many kilobytes by using rendezvous channels instead of array-based channels.

Added

• Thread pool for reusing threads across multi-threaded benchmarks. The result is that when running Divan benchmarks under a sampling profiler, the profiler's output will be cleaner and easier to understand. ([#37])

• Track the maximum number of allocations during a benchmark.

Changed

• Make private Arg::get trait method not take self, so that text editors don't recommend using it. ([#59])

• Cache BenchOptions using LazyLock instead of OnceLock, saving space and simplifying the implementation.

Added

• [CyclesCount] counter to display cycle throughput as Hertz.

• Track the maximum number of bytes allocated during a benchmark.

Removed

• Remove has_cpuid polyfill due to it no longer being planned for Rust, since CPUID is assumed to be available on all old x86 Rust targets.

Fixed

• List generic benchmark type parameter A<4> before A<32>. ([#64])

• Improve precision by using f64 when calculating allocation count and sizes for the median samples.

• Multi-thread allocation counting in sum_alloc_tallies on macOS was loading a null pointer instead of the pointer initialized by sync_threads.

Changed

• Sort all output benchmark names naturally instead of lexicographically.

• Internally reuse [&[&str] slice][slice] for [args] names.

• Subtract overhead of [AllocProfiler] from timings. Now that Divan also tracks the maximum bytes allocated, the overhead was apparent in timings.

• Simplify ThreadAllocInfo::clear.

• Move measured loop overhead from SharedContext to global OnceLock.

• Macros no longer rely on std being re-exported by Divan. Instead they use ::std or ::core to greatly simplify code. Although this is technically a breaking change, it is extremely unlikely to do extern crate std as x.

Fixed

• Set correct field in [Divan::max_time]. (#45)

Changed

• Improve [args] documentation by relating it to using [Bencher].

• Define [BytesCount::of_iter] in terms of [BytesCount::of_many].

Fixed

• Missing update to divan-macros dependency.

Added

• Display [args] option values with [Debug] instead if [ToString] is not implemented.

  This makes it simple to use enums with derived [Debug]:

  #[derive(Debug)]
  enum Arg { A, B }
  
  #[divan::bench(args = [Arg::A, Arg::B])]
  fn bench_args(arg: &Arg) {
      ...
  }
  

• Documentation of when to use [black_box] in benchmarks.

Fixed

• Sorting negative [args] numbers.

Fixed

• Sort [args] numbers like [consts].

Added

• [args] option for providing runtime arguments to benchmarks:

  #[divan::bench(args = [1, 2, 3])]
  fn args_list(arg: usize) { ... }
  
  #[divan::bench(args = 1..=3)]
  fn args_range(arg: usize) { ... }
  
  const ARGS: &[usize] = [1, 2, 3];
  
  #[divan::bench(args = ARGS)]
  fn args_const(arg: usize) { ... }
  

  This option may be preferred over the similar [consts] option because:

  • It is compatible with more types, only requiring that the argument type implements [Any], [Copy], [Send], [Sync], and [ToString]. [Copy] is not needed if the argument is used through a reference.
  • It does not increase compile times, unlike [consts] which needs to generate new code for each constant used.

Changed

• Reduce [AllocProfiler] footprint from 6-10ns to 1-2ns:

  • Thread-local values are now exclusively owned by their threads and are no longer kept in a global list. This enables some optimizations:

    • Performing faster unsynchronized arithmetic.

    • Removing one level of pointer indirection by storing the thread-local value entirely inline in [thread_local!], rather than storing a pointer to a globally-shared instance.

    • Compiler emits SIMD arithmetic for x86_64 using paddq.

  • Improved thread-local lookup on x86_64 macOS by using a static lookup key instead of a dynamic key from [pthread_key_create]. Key 11 is used because it is reserved for Windows.

    The dyn_thread_local crate feature disables this optimization. This is recommended if your code or another dependency uses the same static key.

Fixed

• Remove unused allocations if [AllocProfiler] is not active as the global allocator.

Changed

• Improve [AllocProfiler] implementation documentation.

• Limit [AllocProfiler] mean count outputs to 4 significant digits to not be very wide and for consistency with other outputs.

Added

• [AllocProfiler] allocator that tracks allocation counts and sizes during benchmarks.

Added

• [black_box_drop] convenience function for [black_box] + [drop]. This is useful when benchmarking a lazy [Iterator] to completion with for_each:

  #[divan::bench]
  fn parse_iter() {
      let input: &str = // ...
  
      Parser::new(input)
          .for_each(divan::black_box_drop);
  }
  

Added

• From implementations for counters on references to u8–u64 and usize, such as From<&u64> and From<&&u64>. This allows for doing:

  bencher
      .with_inputs(|| { ... })
      .input_counter(ItemsCount::from)
      .bench_values(|n| { ... });
  

• Bencher::count_inputs_as<C> method to convert inputs to a Counter:

  bencher
      .with_inputs(|| -> usize {
          // ...
      })
      .count_inputs_as::<ItemsCount>()
      .bench_values(|n| -> Vec<usize> {
          (0..n).collect()
      });
  

Added

• Convenience shorthand options for #[divan::bench] and #[divan::bench_group] counters:

  • bytes_count for counter = BytesCount::from(n)
  • chars_count for counter = CharsCount::from(n)
  • items_count for counter = ItemsCount::from(n)

• Support for NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, and Haiku OS by using pre-main.

• Set global thread counts using:

  • Divan::threads
  • --threads A B C... CLI arg
  • DIVAN_THREADS=A,B,C env var

  The following example will benchmark across 2, 4, and [available parallelism] thread counts:

  DIVAN_THREADS=0,2,4 cargo bench -q -p examples --bench atomic
  

• Set global Counters at runtime using:

  • Divan::counter
  • Divan::items_count
  • Divan::bytes_count
  • Divan::chars_count
  • --items-count N CLI arg
  • --bytes-count N CLI arg
  • --chars-count N CLI arg
  • DIVAN_ITEMS_COUNT=N env var
  • DIVAN_BYTES_COUNT=N env var
  • DIVAN_CHARS_COUNT=N env var

• From<C> for ItemsCount, BytesCount, and CharsCount where C is u8–u64 or usize (via CountUInt internally). This provides an alternative to the new constructor.

• BytesCount::of_many method similar to BytesCount::of, but with a parameter by which to multiply the size of the type.

• BytesCount::u64, BytesCount::f64, and similar methods based on BytesCount::of_many.

Removed

• [black_box] inside benchmark loop when deferring [Drop] of outputs. This is now done after the loop.

• linkme dependency in favor of pre-main to register benchmarks and benchmark groups. This is generally be more portable and reliable.

Changed

• Now calling [black_box] at the end of the benchmark loop when deferring use of inputs or [Drop] of outputs.

Fixed

• Multi-threaded benchmarks being spread across CPUs, instead of pinning the main thread to CPU 0 and having all threads inherit the main thread's affinity.

Fixed

• Fix using LLD as linker for Linux by using the same pre-main approach as Windows.
