NAME

Bencher::Scenario::PERLANCAR::pass_list_vs_array - Benchmark passing list vs array reference

VERSION

This document describes version 0.06 of Bencher::Scenario::PERLANCAR::pass_list_vs_array (from Perl distribution Bencher-Scenarios-PERLANCAR), released on 2017-01-25.

SYNOPSIS

To run benchmark with default option:

 % bencher -m PERLANCAR::pass_list_vs_array

For more options (dump scenario, list/include/exclude/add participants, list/include/exclude/add datasets, etc), see bencher or run bencher --help.

DESCRIPTION

Passing a large array by reference will generate a large saving only if we reuse the list (pass it multiple times).

BENCHMARK PARTICIPANTS

  • pass_list (perl_code)

    Code template:

     my $sub = sub {}; my @list = 1..<size>;  for (1..<reuse>) { $sub->(@list) }

  • pass_arrayref (perl_code)

    Code template:

     my $sub = sub {}; my @list = 1..<size>;  for (1..<reuse>) { $sub->(\@list) }

BENCHMARK DATASETS

  • data
