The Benchmark::Forking module changes the behavior of the standard
|
||
|
|
Benchmark module, running each piece of code to be timed in a separate
|
||
|
|
forked process. Because each child exits after running its timing loop,
|
||
|
|
the computations it performs can't propogate back to affect subsequent
|
||
|
|
test cases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can make benchmark comparisons more accurate, because the
|
||
|
|
separate test cases are mostly isolated from side-effects caused by
|
||
|
|
the others. Benchmark scripts typically don't depend on those
|
||
|
|
side-effects, so in most cases you can simply use or require this
|
||
|
|
module at the top of your existing code without having to change
|
||
|
|
anything else.
