[cl-bench-devel] [patch] refactor files/arrays.lisp to make runs specifiable in tests.lisp

[Andreas Fuchs]

Hi there,

arrays.lisp is the odd benchmark group out when it comes to specifying
the number of runs: It has optional RUNS arguments in the defuns in
files/arrays.lisp. That makes it a bit of a pain to keep the run
numbers in sync with run times on modern machines. Also, it means
these benchmarks keep their setup code inside the benchmark function:
not a good thing.

The attached patch aims to fix this by defining a
cl-bench.arrays::bench-<something>-setup function that initializes the
arrays bound in a LET form surrounding the actual benchmark defun. At
least in my limited setup, it caused a slight reduction of test run
length variances, and it makes things a lot easier to maintain.

Cheers,
