[section Performance]
Parsers work at compile-time, thus their performance affects compilation speed.
This section shows measurements of compilation time using Metaparse. The
measurements were done on a Linux laptop with an 1.6 GHz Atom processor and 1 GB
memory. The measurements were done using GCC 4.6.1 with `-std=c++0x` and no
optimisation. Compilation speed was measured using the `time` utility.
To measure a non-trivial parser, the `printf` example program were used for
measurements. Here is a list of the `printf` calls and their compilation speed
(`user` output of `time`):
[table Printf compilation speed
[[type-safe `printf` call] [Compilation speed (s)]]
[[No compile-time parsing (just the includes and an empty `main`)] [3.51]]
[[`printf<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("%f")>(1.0)`] [4.95]]
[[`printf<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("%f%f")>(1.0, 2.0)`] [5.26]]
[[`printf<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("%f%f%f")>(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)`] [5.50]]
[[`printf<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("%f%f%f%f")>(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0)`] [5.82]]
[[`printf<BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING("%f%f%f%f%f")>(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0)`] [6.07]]
]
