App::Benchmark::Accessors - benchmark accessor generators


NAME

App::Benchmark::Accessors - benchmark accessor generators


SYNOPSIS

None - just run the test suite


DESCRIPTION

This distribution runs benchmarks on various accessor generators. The following generators are being benchmarked:

Moose
Mouse
Class::Accessor
Class::Accessor::Fast
Class::Accessor::Fast::XS
Class::Accessor::Complex
Class::Accessor::Constructor
Mojo::Base
Class::MethodMaker
Object::Tiny
Spiffy
Class::Spiffy
accessors
Class::XSAccessor
Class::XSAccessor::Array

The benchmarks are being run as part of the test suite; see the App::Benchmark manpage. This way you can look at this distribution's CPAN testers page to see the benchmark results on many different platforms and for many different perl versions.

The t/versions.t reports the version numbers of these modules.

The t/construction.t file benchmarks object creation, t/get.t benchmarks getter methods and t/set.t benchmarks setter methods.

Not every benchmark is run on every module; for example, the Object::Tiny manpage doesn't create setter methods, and the accessors manpage doesn't generate constructors.

Each benchmark test file takes an optional numeric parameter that is used as the number of iterations.

It's probably a good idea not to read too much into these benchmarks; they could be seen as micro-optimization. However, if you have a complex object hierarchy and create lots of objects and run many many getters/setters on them, they could help to save some time. But be sure to use the Devel::NYTProf manpage first to see where your real bottlenecks are.
