// Benchmarks comparing different callgraph algorithms implemented in
// x/tools/go/callgraph. Comparison is on both speed, memory and precision.
// Fewer edges and fewer reachable nodes implies a more precise result.
// Comparison is done on a hello world http server using net/http.
//
// Current results were on an i7 macbook on go version devel go1.20-2730.
// Number of nodes, edges, and reachable function are expected to vary between
// go versions. Timing results are expected to vary between machines.

// Note:
// * Static is unsound and may miss real edges.
// * RTA starts from a main function and only includes reachable functions.
// * CHA starts from all functions.
// * VTA, VTA2, and VTA3 are starting from all functions and the CHA callgraph.
//   VTA2 and VTA3 are the result of re-applying VTA to the functions reachable
//   from main() via the callgraph of the previous stage.
// * VTAAlt, and VTAAlt2 start from the functions reachable from main via the
//   CHA callgraph.
// * All algorithms are unsound w.r.t. reflection.
