This PR is the minimal change necessary to get LLVM to optimize
if self.t.tv_nsec >= other.t.tv_nsecto branchless instructions (at least on x86_64), inspired by @m-ou-se's own attempts at optimizingInstantsubtraction.I stumbled over this by looking at the total number of instructions executed by
rustc -Z self-profile, and found that after disabling ASLR, the largest source of non-determinism remaining was from thisiftaking one branch or the other, depending on the values involved.The reason this code is even called so many times to make a difference, is that
measureme(the-Z self-profileimplementation) currently usesInstant::elapsedfor its event timestamps (of which there can be millions).I doubt it's critical to land this, although perhaps it could slightly improve some forms of benchmarking.
