説明

Sometimes it becomes difficult to grasp immediately the differences between benchmarked functions that have a wide variance in a given counter. The aforementioned readability problem is due to the usage of the SI standard by default. This one below is an example where I am dealing with different functions to approximate sine, look at the absolute error calculated for each one: Screenshot_20190513_185727 It's not instantly obvious how much more precise the first function is, but it would be using scientific notation: Screenshot_20190513_202852

The usage might be as easy as:

state.counters["Foo"] = Counter(fooVal, benchmark::Counter::kScientificNotation);
