A benchmarking suite for comparing performance of various Boost C++ library components using Google Benchmark.
- CMake 3.14+
- C++17 compiler
- Boost 1.87.0+ (with serialization and graph components)
# Create build directory
mkdir -p build
cd build
# Configure and build
# For regular timing-based benchmarks:
cmake -DCODSPEED_MODE=walltime ..
# For CodSpeed instrumentation:
cmake -DCODSPEED_MODE=instrumentation ..
makeFrom the build directory:
# Run individual component benchmarks
./string_bench
./container_bench
./utility_bench
./optional_bench
./spirit_bench
./multiindex_bench
./graph_bench
./serialization_bench
# Run all benchmarks with a single command
cmake --build . --target run_all_benchmarks
# Pass arguments to all benchmarks
cmake --build . --target run_all_benchmarks -- --benchmark_filter=BM_Boost
# Run with regex filter
./string_bench --benchmark_filter="BM_BoostLexicalCast"
# List available benchmarks
./string_bench --benchmark_list_tests- string_bench: String operations, lexical_cast, regex, format
- container_bench: Container performance comparisons
- utility_bench: Type-safe any, algorithms, UUID generation
- optional_bench: Boost vs std::optional
- spirit_bench: Parsing operations (CSV, JSON, expressions)
- multiindex_bench: Multi-index container operations
- graph_bench: Graph algorithms (Dijkstra, A*, BFS, DFS)
- serialization_bench: Serialization performance (text, binary, XML)
Specify a custom Boost version:
cmake -DBOOST_VERSION=1.82.0 -DCODSPEED_MODE=walltime ..This project integrates with CodSpeed for CI performance tracking. For local testing, use:
cmake -DCODSPEED_MODE=instrumentation ..
make
./string_bench # Will show notice about running outside CIFor CI integration, ensure the CODSPEED_TOKEN secret is set in your GitHub repository.
