AAIU bb_observe is unnecessary, you can use any function that's unreadable by LLVM (including the test::black_box function).

test::black_box

is it available in no-std?

from wasmi.

Yes, it is

I'm trying to work on a relatively-transparent benchmarking harness that compiles normal Rust benchmarks to a format that could work when compiled with wasm32-unknown-unknown.

Implemented here

Great!
Should we utilize it here, on the CI also?

from wasmi.

I think so, although I'd have to make it work properly on test failure - i.e., report the actual reason for test failure. Currently I haven't implemented any of the exception mechanisms so the interpreter just panicks complaining about unimplemented functions.

We moved to Criterion based benchmarks that allow for more flexibility. I do not agree with a fixed benchmarking API as proposed in the initial comment since benchmarks are way too different to unify them under a single Wasm based API.
