hmmm - you can look at libs/serialization/test/performance to see how I've addressed the problem.
thanks Robert, this looks like what i need. however, wouldn't it be easier to benchmark if one could do it directly from boost.test?
- BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test_name, 10000 /*repetitions*/) - pass in a parameter in the command line to activate benchmarking, e.g. --benchmark. this results in running the test "repetitions" times; if not passed, runs only once - the timing is already done by boost.test so no changes there.
do ppl think this is an acceptable approach? i'll raise a feature request if that's the case.
Some kind of benchmarking support has been sitting on my TODO list for very long. I have some ideas as to what can go there. I am open for anyone implementing the change in Boost.Test I can help with suggestion and review. I myself can't really find a time slot these days, but maybe I can try one of the weekends... Gennadiy
