Benchmarking - Stdlib testing.B definition

// B is a type passed to Benchmark functions to manage benchmark
// timing and to specify the number of iterations to run.
//
// A benchmark ends when its Benchmark function returns or calls any of the methods
// FailNow, Fatal, Fatalf, SkipNow, Skip, or Skipf. Those methods must be called
// only from the goroutine running the Benchmark function.
// The other reporting methods, such as the variations of Log and Error,
// may be called simultaneously from multiple goroutines.
//
// Like in tests, benchmark logs are accumulated during execution
// and dumped to standard output when done. Unlike in tests, benchmark logs
// are always printed, so as not to hide output whose existence may be
// affecting benchmark results.
