    954954Since all these languages share a subset comprising most of standard C, maximal-performance benchmarks would show little runtime variance, other than in length and clarity of source code.
    955955Instead, the presented benchmarks show the costs of idiomatic use of each language's features to examine common usage.
    956 Figure~\ref{fig:MicroBenchmark} shows the benchmark tests for a generic stack based on a singly linked-list, a generic pair-data-structure, and a variadic @print@ routine similar to that in Section~\ref{sec:variadic-tuples}.
    957 The experiments are:
    958 \begin{enumerate}
    959 \item
    960 N stack pushes of int, where N = 40M
    961 \item
    962 copy int stack
    963 \item
    964 clear int stack
    965 \item
    966 N stack pops of int
    967 \end{enumerate}
     956Figure~\ref{fig:MicroBenchmark} shows the \CFA benchmark tests for a generic stack based on a singly linked-list, a generic pair-data-structure, and a variadic @print@ routine similar to that in Section~\ref{sec:variadic-tuples}.
     957The tests are similar for C and \CC.
     958The first two experiments use element types @int@ and @pair( _Bool, char)@, and push $N=40M$ elements on a generic stack, copy the stack, clear one of the stacks, and find the maximum value in the other stack.
     959The last experiment creates a file and prints $N=40M$ elements of type @int@ and @pair( _Bool, char)@ using a variadic print.
     960
    968961The structure of each implemented is: C with @void *@-based polymorphism, \CFA with the different presented features, \CC with templates, and \CC using only class inheritance for polymorphism, called \CCV.
    969962The \CCV variant illustrates an alternative object-oriented idiom where all objects inherit from a base @object@ class, mimicking a Java-like interface;
    970963hence runtime checks are necessary to safely down-cast objects.
    971 The most notable difference among the implementations is in memory layout of generic types: \CFA and \CC inline the stack and pair elements into corresponding list and pair nodes, while C and \CCV lack such a capability and store generic objects via pointers to separately-allocated objects instead.
    972 For the print benchmark, idiomatic printing is used: the C and \CFA variants use @stdio.h@, while the \CC and \CCV variants use @iostream@.
    973 Preliminary tests show this difference has little runtime effect.
     964The most notable difference among the implementations is in optimizations: \CFA and \CC inline the stack and pair elements into corresponding list and pair nodes, while the C and \CCV lack generic-type capability {\color{red}(AWKWARD) to store generic objects via pointers to separately-allocated objects}.
     965For the print benchmark, idiomatic printing is used: the C and \CFA variants used @cstdio.h@, while the \CC and \CCV variants used @iostream@.
     966Preliminary tests show the difference has little runtime effect.
    974967Finally, the C @rand@ function is used generate random numbers.
