""" Compare two sets of compile-time performance numbers.

The intent of this script is to compare compile-time performance of two
different versions of the compiler.  Each version of the compiler must be
run at least three times with the -ftime-report option.  Each log file
represents a data point, or trial.  The set of trials for each compiler
version constitutes a sample.  The ouput of the script is a description
of the statistically significant difference between the two version of
the compiler.

The parameters to the script are:

  Two file patterns that each match a set of log files.  You will probably
  need to quote the patterns before passing them to the script.

    Each pattern corresponds to a version of the compiler.

  A regular expression that finds interesting lines in the log files.
  If you want to match the beginning of the line, you will need to add
  the ^ operator.  The filtering uses Python regular expression syntax.

    The default is "TOTAL".

    All of the interesting lines in a single log file are summed to produce
    a single trial (data point).

  A desired statistical confidence within the range 60% to 99.9%.  Due to
  the implementation, this confidence will be rounded down to one of 60%,
  70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.8%, and 99.9%.

    The default is 95.

    If the computed confidence is lower than desired, the script will
    estimate the number of trials needed to meet the desired confidence.
    This estimate is not very good, as the variance tends to change as
    you increase the number of trials.

The most common use of the script is total compile-time comparison between
logfiles stored in different directories.

compare_two_ftime_report_sets "Log1/*perf" "Log2/*perf"

One can also look at parsing time, but expecting a lower confidence.
