This directory contains some benchmarks for Guile, and some generic benchmarking support code. To run these benchmarks, you will need a version of Guile more recent than 15 Feb 1999 --- the benchmarks use the (ice-9 and-let*) and (ice-9 getopt-long) modules, which were added to Guile around then. For information about how to run the benchmark suite, read the usage instructions in the comments at the top of the guile-benchmark script. You can reference the file `lib.scm' from your own code as the module (benchmark-suite lib); it also has comments at the top and before each function explaining what's going on. Please write more Guile benchmarks, and send them to bug-guile@gnu.org. We'll merge them into the distribution. All benchmark suites must be licensed for our use under the GPL, but I don't think we're going to collect assignment papers for them.
