Outline for Xbench
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
GENERAL
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Stuff starting with '-' are callbacks for that widget.
|
|
'<>' means whatever is appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Choice widgets will either be implemented as a new type of widget or a
|
|
form containing a bunch of Command widgets. The automatic callbacks for
|
|
the commands are:
|
|
- set all children of parent to normal colors
|
|
- set oneself to reverse colors
|
|
There will be a
|
|
- put <> in buffer, specified by the parent widget
|
|
There will also be a
|
|
- put <>\n in buffer
|
|
specific to each command.
|
|
|
|
In general, the buffer does not need to be looked at until the test is
|
|
actually run; however, if we decide to "gray out" choices in the Graphics
|
|
Options window that have nothing to do with the benchmark, then choosing
|
|
a benchmark must flush also.
|
|
|
|
Widgets - we need to decide whether the windows that are turn-on-and-offable
|
|
should be children of Form, or of TopLevel. If they're children of Form,
|
|
then the user won't be able to stack them or have a say in where they go.
|
|
We also might run out of space. If they're children of TopLevel, the user
|
|
can decide where they go, but he's going to have to choose their location
|
|
(with the wm) every time they come up. I would vote for the latter approach.
|
|
(Uh oh... I don't think that the TopLevel widget can have more than one
|
|
child...)
|
|
|
|
All choosing Widgets should write strings in the Xbench language to some
|
|
buffer, where the actual testing thing can pull them out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HIERARCHY OF WIDGETS
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Form (form) surrounding the whole thing (owned by TopLevel)
|
|
Title (label) on top describing version & current test (owned by Form)
|
|
MenuLine (form) under Title giving top level choices (owned by Form)
|
|
MenuLine contains these Commands:
|
|
Run
|
|
- flush the buffer
|
|
- run benchmark
|
|
BenchmarkOptionsOn
|
|
- map benchmark options window (BenchmarkOptions)
|
|
BenchmarkOptionsOff
|
|
- unmap benchmark options window
|
|
GraphicsOptionsOn
|
|
- map graphics options window (GraphicsOptions)
|
|
GraphicsOptionsOff
|
|
- unmap graphics options window
|
|
DescriptionOn
|
|
- map description window (Description)
|
|
DescriptionOff
|
|
- unmap description window
|
|
RecordingOn
|
|
- bring up dialog box for name of file
|
|
- start saving commands into file (set a global boolean TRUE)
|
|
RecordingOff
|
|
- stop saving commands into file (set the global boolean FALSE)
|
|
Playback
|
|
- bring up dialog box for name of file
|
|
- read from file until EOF
|
|
Quit
|
|
- quit
|
|
|
|
The toggling command buttons exist in pairs, of which only one is visible at
|
|
any one point. This makes callbacks/names of buttons easier to implement.
|
|
|

|
BenchmarkOptions (form) describing benchmark options (owned by Toplevel?)
|
|
BenchmarkOptions contains:
|
|
TestChoice (choice) the 16 different test choices.
|
|
- put "test <>" in buffer
|
|
- put description of test in Description window
|
|
- call disable_gc_choices() with the GC field flags
|
|
Iterations (text) the number of times to run.
|
|
- put "iterations <>" in buffer
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
GraphicsOptions (form) describing graphics options (owned by Toplevel?)
|
|
GraphicsOptions contains:
|
|
ChooseFunction (choice)
|
|
- put "function <>" in buffer
|
|
ChooseColormap (choice)
|
|
- put "colormap <>" in buffer
|
|
Foreground (text)
|
|
- put "foreground <>" in buffer
|
|
Background (text)
|
|
- put "background <>" in buffer
|
|
LineWidth (text)
|
|
- put "linewidth <>" in buffer
|
|
LineStyle (choice)
|
|
- put "linestyle <>" in buffer
|
|
CapStyle (choice)
|
|
- put "capstyle <>" in buffer
|
|
JoinStyle (choice)
|
|
- put "joinstyle <>" in buffer
|
|
FillStyle (choice)
|
|
- put "fillstyle <>" in buffer
|
|
FillRule (choice)
|
|
- put "fillrule <>" in buffer
|
|
ArcMode (choice)
|
|
- put "arcmode <>" in buffer
|
|
TStipOrigin (text * 2)
|
|
- put "tsorigin <>" in buffer
|
|
DashList (???)
|
|
- put "dashlist <>" in buffer
|
|
DashOffset (text?)
|
|
- put "dashoffset <>" in buffer
|
|
ClipMask (choice)
|
|
- put "clipmask <>" in buffer
|
|
Planemask (text)
|
|
- put "planemask <>" in buffer
|
|
|
|
We need specialized widgets for DashList, possibly TStipOrigin and DashOffset.
|
|
|
|
Still to be decided: can one choose GC options that have no meaning for that
|
|
particular benchmark? I don't think it should be a problem.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Description (text) describing the current test (owned by Toplevel?)
|
|
|
|
I really need to find out how to use sources and sinks for Text widgets -
|
|
the documentation does not say how to do it.
|
|
|
|
Every test will have a block of text associated with it. When a new
|
|
benchmark is chosen, its associated text will become the source for the
|
|
Description widget. Note that we don't have to worry about whether
|
|
Description is mapped or not; we're just setting a source.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Analysis (text) describing the results of the current test (owned by Form -
|
|
we always want this to be around)
|
|
|
|
This will display the name of the test, the important values of the GC,
|
|
the results of the test, and a short analysis thereof. If more than
|
|
one test of a particular benchmark is performed, it will be appended to
|
|
the analysis source (not replacing it). This will allow for comparing
|
|
results obtained with different GC's.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Test (core + expose event handler) for doing the test.
|
|
|
|
All this really needs to do, besides actually doing the test, is to
|
|
time it and make sure the Analysis part knows about it.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
RecordingOn / RecordingOff / Playback
|
|
|
|
When the user presses Playback, pretty much all we have to do is to
|
|
1) change the buffer to the file that he wants, and 2) start reading.
|
|
The rest should be taken care of the buffer-interpreting module.
|
|
|
|
RecordingOn changes the output buffer _and_ the input buffer to the
|
|
desired file.
|
|
|
|
RecordingOff changes them both back to the usual.
