The following functions were created:
1. bench.c: help()
- prints the help to the command-line
2. bench.h: have_invalid_args()
- takes a list of arguments that the user is allowed to enter on the command-line
- returns 1 if the user entered an invalid argument
- returns 0 if all the user entered arguments are valid
This makes the semantic of have_flag more clear and fixes a bug
that was introduced in
2fe1b50df16c9f41ea77b151634d734b930eeddd
Add ecmult_gen, ecmult_const and ecmult to benchmark
where the behavior introduced by this commit was already assumed. If
bench_ecmult was called without arguments, have_flag("simple") returned 1 and no
scratch space was allocated which led to very wrong output.
1. add `print_output_table_header_row` func to print the table header for benchmark output
2. modify the following benchmarks to include the table header
- bench_ecdh.c
- bench_ecmult.c
- bench_internal.c
- bench_recover.c
- bench_schnorrsig.c
- bench_sign.c
- bench_verify.c
- Use 64-bit integer microsecond timestamps
- Use fixed-point math for formatting numbers
Then, remove "except in benchmarks" exception from `README.md`.
Identifiers starting with an underscore and followed immediately by a capital letter are reserved by the C++ standard.
The only header guards not fixed are those in the headers auto-generated from java.
This makes it more clear that a null check is intended. Avoiding the
use of a pointer as a test condition alse increases the type-safety
of the comparisons.
