ankerl::nanobench is a platform independent microbenchmarking library for C++11/14/17/20.

#define ANKERL_NANOBENCH_IMPLEMENT
#include <nanobench.h>

int main() {
    double d = 1.0;
    ankerl::nanobench::Bench().run("some double ops", [&] {
        d += 1.0 / d;
        if (d > 5.0) {
            d -= 5.0;
        }
        ankerl::nanobench::doNotOptimizeAway(d);
    });
}

The whole executable runs for ~60ms and prints

Which github renders as

The benchmarked code takes 7.52 nanoseconds to run, so ~133 million times per seconds. Measurements fluctuate by 1.1%. On average 6.65 instructions are executed in 24.07 CPU cycles, resulting in 0.276 instructions per cycle. A single branch is in the code, which branch prediction missed in 8.9% of the cases. Total runtime of the benchmark with the name some double ops is 0.00, so just a few milliseconds.

• Ease of use: Simple & powerful API, fast compile times, easy to integrate anywhere.
• Fast: Get accurate results as fast as possible. nanobench is ~80 times faster than google benchmark.
• Accurate: Get deterministic, repeatable, and accurate results that you can make sound decisions on.
• Robust: Be robust against outliers, warn if results are not reliable.
