## Compile time and code bloat
The script
[bloat-test.py](https://github.com/fmtlib/format-benchmark/blob/master/bloat-test.py)
from [format-benchmark](https://github.com/fmtlib/format-benchmark)
tests compile time and code bloat for nontrivial projects. It generates
100 translation units and uses `printf()` or its alternative five times
in each to simulate a medium-sized project. The resulting executable
size and compile time (Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42), macOS
Sierra, best of three) is shown in the following tables.

**Optimized build (-O3)**
| Method | Compile Time, s | Executable size, KiB | Stripped size, KiB |
|---------------|-----------------|----------------------|--------------------|
| printf | 2.6 | 29 | 26 |
| printf+string | 16.4 | 29 | 26 |
| iostreams | 31.1 | 59 | 55 |
| {fmt} | 19.0 | 37 | 34 |
| Boost Format | 91.9 | 226 | 203 |
| Folly Format | 115.7 | 101 | 88 |
| printf | 1.6 | 54 | 50 |
| IOStreams | 25.6 | 98 | 84 |
| {fmt} | 4.8 | 54 | 50 |
| tinyformat | 30.5 | 161 | 136 |
| Boost Format | 56.7 | 530 | 317 |
As you can see, {fmt} has 60% less overhead in terms of resulting binary
code size compared to iostreams and comes pretty close to `printf`.
Boost Format and Folly Format have the largest overheads.
`printf+string` is the same as `printf` but with an extra `<string>`
include to measure the overhead of the latter.
As you can see, {fmt} has ~70% less overhead in terms of resulting binary code
size compared to iostreams and comes pretty close to `printf`. Boost Format and
Folly Format have the largest overheads.
**Non-optimized build**
| Method | Compile Time, s | Executable size, KiB | Stripped size, KiB |
|---------------|-----------------|----------------------|--------------------|
| printf | 2.2 | 33 | 30 |
| printf+string | 16.0 | 33 | 30 |
| iostreams | 28.3 | 56 | 52 |
| {fmt} | 18.2 | 59 | 50 |
| Boost Format | 54.1 | 365 | 303 |
| Folly Format | 79.9 | 445 | 430 |
| printf | 1.4 | 54 | 50 |
| IOStreams | 24.2 | 92 | 68 |
| {fmt} | 4.7 | 217 | 214 |
| tinyformat | 25.7 | 204 | 161 |
| Boost Format | 37.5 | 831 | 462 |
`libc`, `lib(std)c++`, and `libfmt` are all linked as shared libraries
to compare formatting function overhead only. Boost Format is a
