naming for iterations and/or duration

[heckj]

Working through writing a few sample benchmarks, I was exploring Benchmark.defaultConfiguration.desiredIterations, Benchmark.defaultConfiguration.desiredDuration, and how they relate to each other.

I do think the names could be improved by renaming them to maxIterations and maxDuration, respectively. I'm also thinking that as we cobble the documentation, expanding on Benchmark.Configuration (and maybe the article WritingBenchmarks.md), it would be worth calling out specifically that the running will go until the first of these two are hit.

And just to double check - if you specify warmupIterations on the configuration, does that take place before either the iterations vs. duration markers are measured?

Agree it would be a nice improvement!

Yes it does, it's completely outside the measurement.
