Benchmarking tests?

[cloderic]

I'm a happy user of Catch and I'm looking for the same kind of simplicity for performance test.

I've found that: http://bruun.co/2012/02/07/easy-cpp-benchmarking

I like the unit test like approach, a way to log the results to a history file would also be nice.

Short story long I think it would be a nice addition to Catch.

Any plan for this kind of features?

Am I the only one interested? I'm considering working on it but I'd like to gather idea/needs first

Sorry Clodéric, I meant to respond here before.
I definitely have plans for something like this. In fact I've put together a fairly complete incarnation on my current commercial project (so I can't use that code, but I've seen how well it works) just recently.
I'm going to be adding a Catch version. soon.

I don't know if this was a co-ordinated effort but about 20 minutes before your follow-up here there was a post on the Catch Google Group on the same subject. Can I encourage you to pick up there instead (so I can keep this tracker for issues)?

FWIW I'd definitely like to have benchmarking support in Catch too. I'd like to have a BENCH macro similar to TEST_CASE which could be used for benchmarking the code and some control over it from the command line.

Since this is not going into Catch Classic, but might get into Catch 2 at some point, I am going to close it in favour of #852.
