If the provided Hash doesn't have a default proc, we know for sure that we'll never call into user provided code, hence the string we allocate to access the Hash can't possibly escape. So we don't actually have to allocate it, we can use a fake_str, AKA a stack allocated string. ``` compare-ruby: ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-02-10T13:47:44Z master 3fb455adab) +PRISM [arm64-darwin23] built-ruby: ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-02-10T17:09:52Z opt-gsub-alloc ea5c28958f) +PRISM [arm64-darwin23] warming up.... | |compare-ruby|built-ruby| |:----------------|-----------:|---------:| |escape | 3.374k| 3.722k| | | -| 1.10x| |escape_bin | 5.469k| 6.587k| | | -| 1.20x| |escape_utf8 | 3.465k| 3.734k| | | -| 1.08x| |escape_utf8_bin | 5.752k| 7.283k| | | -| 1.27x| ```
ruby/benchmark
This directory has benchmark definitions to be run with benchmark_driver.gem.
Normal usage
Execute gem install benchmark_driver
and run a command like:
# Run a benchmark script with the ruby in the $PATH
benchmark-driver benchmark/app_fib.rb
# Run benchmark scripts with multiple Ruby executables or options
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.rb -e /path/to/ruby -e '/path/to/ruby --jit'
# Or compare Ruby versions managed by rbenv
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.rb --rbenv '2.5.1;2.6.0-preview2 --jit'
# You can collect many metrics in many ways
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.rb --runner memory --output markdown
# Some are defined with YAML for complex setup or accurate measurement
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.yml

benchmark-driver --help
Usage: benchmark-driver [options] RUBY|YAML...
-r, --runner TYPE Specify runner type: ips, time, memory, once, block (default: ips)
-o, --output TYPE Specify output type: compare, simple, markdown, record, all (default: compare)
-e, --executables EXECS Ruby executables (e1::path1 arg1; e2::path2 arg2;...)
--rbenv VERSIONS Ruby executables in rbenv (x.x.x arg1;y.y.y arg2;...)
--repeat-count NUM Try benchmark NUM times and use the fastest result or the worst memory usage
--repeat-result TYPE Yield "best", "average" or "worst" result with --repeat-count (default: best)
--alternate Alternate executables instead of running the same executable in a row with --repeat-count
--bundler Install and use gems specified in Gemfile
--filter REGEXP Filter out benchmarks with given regexp
--run-duration SECONDS Warmup estimates loop_count to run for this duration (default: 3)
--timeout SECONDS Timeout ruby command execution with timeout(1)
-v, --verbose Verbose mode. Multiple -v options increase visilibity (max: 2)
make benchmark
Using make benchmark
, make update-benchmark-driver
automatically downloads
the supported version of benchmark_driver, and it runs benchmarks with the downloaded
benchmark_driver.
# Run all benchmarks with the ruby in the $PATH and the built ruby
make benchmark
# Or compare with specific ruby binary
make benchmark COMPARE_RUBY="/path/to/ruby --jit"
# Run vm benchmarks
make benchmark ITEM=vm
# Run some limited benchmarks in ITEM-matched files
make benchmark ITEM=vm OPTS=--filter=block
# You can specify the benchmark by an exact filename instead of using the default argument:
# ARGS = $$(find $(srcdir)/benchmark -maxdepth 1 -name '*$(ITEM)*.yml' -o -name '*$(ITEM)*.rb')
make benchmark ARGS=benchmark/erb_render.yml
# You can specify any option via $OPTS
make benchmark OPTS="--help"
# With `make benchmark`, some special runner plugins are available:
# -r peak, -r size, -r total, -r utime, -r stime, -r cutime, -r cstime
