This is a [cvs] module of the [tcllib] [sourceforge] project.

Tclbench is a set of tools to compare performances between different [Tcl] and/or [Tk] versions.

'''SYNOPSIS'''

 runbench.tcl ?-option value ...? ?file ...?

'''DESCRIPTION'''

The  runbench.tcl  application  provides the overall management for the execution of bench�� marks. If no specific benchmark files are provided on the command line itself the  application  will  use  all directory containing the application itself. If files are provided all files matching the glob pattern *tk* are assumed to be benchmarks for the Tk toolkit.

The following options are recognized by the application:

   -help:   Causes the application to print a list of the recognized option plus short  explanations of their meaning
   -errors:   Takes a boolean value (0 or 1). True means that errors are thrown, else they are ignored.
   -iterations:   The value of this option is a positive integer number and declares how often the body of benchmarks  should be executed to get accurate timing results. This is a global maximum value which can be overidden by the individual benchmarks.
   -minversion:   Declares the minimum version of tcl interpreters the application is allowed to use in the benchmarking.
   -maxversion:   Declares the maximum version of tcl interpreters the application is allowed to use in the benchmarking.
   -rmatch:   Restricts the benchmarking to benchmarks whose description matches the regexp pattern specified as the value of this option. If both -match and -rmatch are specified benchmarks have to fulfill both conditions to be executed.
   -match:   Restricts the benchmarking to benchmarks whose description matches the glob pattern specified as the value  of this option. If both -match and -rmatch are specified benchmarks have to fulfill both conditions to be executed.
   -normalize:   Takes a version number as value and causes the application to normalize the timing values to the value of the given version.
   -notcl:   Forces the application to skip all tcl related benchmarks. Takes no additional value.
   -notk:   Forces the application to skip all tk related benchmarks. Takes no additional value.
   -output:   Declares the style to use when generating the output for the benchmarks. Accepts text, csv and list. text is the default.
   -paths:   Accepts a list of paths to search for tcl interpreters. If no paths are specified the paths in the environment variable PATH are used.
   -verbose:   Activates the output of interim status info. Takes no additional value

[Kroc] - 23/06/2004 : I've done a TclBench.kit (v 1.15) to test Tclkit performance. It includes [Tcllib] 1.6 and [Tclx] 8.4 for linux and win32 but it should work on any platform. 

'''DOWNLOAD'''

http://www.kroc.tk/tclkit/TclBench_1.15.2.kit

'''SYNOPSIS'''

 TclBench.kit ?-option value ...? ?file ...?

'''DESCRIPTION'''

Similar to '''runbench.tcl''' above, except:
   -paths:   looks for [tclkit] interpreters too.
   -output:   added file style to output results to benchmark.txt instead of stdout.

'''EXAMPLES'''

   command used: TclBench_1.15.2.kit -verbose -output file
   checked:   tclkit-846-linux-x86static.upx, tclkit-846-linux-x86static and tclkit-840-linux-x86 
   computer:   Crusoe 600 MHz - 192 Mb RAM Laptop running linux 2.6.6
   result:   http://www.kroc.tk/tclkit/TclBench_linux_result.txt

   command used: tclsh.exe TclBench_1.15.2.kit -verbose -output file
   checked:   tclkit-846-win32-sh.exe, tclkit-846-win32.exe and tclkit-840-win32.exe 
   computer:   Celeron 600 MHz - 128 Mb RAM PC running Windows 98 SE
   result:   http://www.kroc.tk/tclkit/TclBench_win98se_result.txt
