# What does the hand-written backend cost, against LLVM, on the same programs?
#
# survey.sh answers "does it agree". This answers "what does agreeing cost",
# which is item 7 of HANDOFF-x86-rt.md and the one thing about this backend
# nobody had a number for. It builds each program the same two ways the
# survey does, and for each records three sizes and a time:
#
# file the whole executable on disk. Mostly runtime and libc glue, and
# the least interesting of the three -- it is here because it is
# the number anybody looks at first, and it should be visible how
# much of it is noise.
# text the .text section, from `size -A`. Still contains flan_rt.o,
# which is the same object on both sides.
# own the sum of the sizes of the defined symbols named `flan.<name>`
# -- the program's *own* code and nothing else. The runtime's C is
# `flan_<name>` with an underscore, so the two do not collide, and
# spot-checking a runtime symbol on both sides (flan_map_clone,
# 0x4b3 either way) says the runtime really is byte-identical and
# the difference in `own` is all codegen.
#
# The `own` column is the measurement; the other two are context.
#
# A fourth build, LLVM with --debug, is the reference that makes the number
# readable. --debug forces -O0, so it is LLVM's codegen with its optimiser
# switched off -- the closest thing available to what this backend is doing,
# which has no optimiser at all. Without it every ratio silently blames the
# backend for the whole of mem2reg and inlining. (--x86 --debug is refused,
# so the column exists on one side only, and that is the point of it.)
#
# Time is best-of-N, not a mean: a mean measures the other tenants of the
# machine. Even so, a corpus program is mostly process startup -- these are
# milliseconds -- so read the time column only where it is tens of
# milliseconds or more, and read the rest as size.
#
# Usage: spike/x86/cost.sh [name-substring ...] -> a TSV on stdout
# COST_FLAGS=--dev extra flags, given to both sides, as SURVEY_FLAGS is
# COST_REPS=5 timing repetitions
# COST_O0=0 skip the LLVM -O0 reference column
