Currently I use the return value of the .exe as a means of indicating success, though I know there is way to match std::cout against a regex for more complex tests. However, the timings of the tests are not always suitable for benchmarking, because I only want the timings of a particular part of the tests. Their initialization times are comparable to their runtimes. While I could tune a parameter so that the init phase is negligable, but then benchmarking would take for ages. I want to write benchmark executables (similar to unit tests) that write a single number to the console and nothing else. Run some command (make bench?, cbench?) which runs, these tests, fetches the sole number from the std::cout and prints those numbers as output instead of the total run time presented by ctest.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>@Peter: I also encountered Google Benchmark. I have already seen it’s output and is perfectly fine. I am however a bit reluctant to grab another dependency that all my consumers would be advised to install. CMake is a fairly full blown suite and I was hoping to find something that could provide similar results.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>@Matt: Seems nice. Python is not much a dependency, but VTK is less evident to be present on all machines.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>@Alexander: I still have to look into this, because information seems a little scarce on doing it. It seems to me, that CDash has to be installed somewhere to be able visualize the data. Is there a way to generate the HTML-r for local consumption instead of submitting somewhere? (Ideally bypassing a local installation of CDash)<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>I know, I have a lot of problems. Ultimately I will choose one of the above, I was just looking for the one that is the least painful. I am very reluctant on obtaining dependencies. CMake is such a good tool, it seems strange to me that no direct benchmarking support has been added yet.</p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Any ideas?</p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;border:none;padding:0cm'><br><b>Feladó: </b>Nagy-Egri Máté Ferenc via CMake<br><b>Elküldve: </b>2015. november 9., hétfő 23:27<br><b>Címzett: </b>CMake felhasználók<br><b>Tárgy: </b>[CMake] Benchmarking with CMake</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p>Hi!</p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Can anyone tell me if CMake (or CTest) can be customized in a way to produce decent benchmark output?
