This benchmarking experiment compares the performance of three different C++ data structures for translating string commands into their corresponding enum values:

• std::map
• std::unordered_map
• std::array

The test data is generated using the genTestData() function, which produces a std::vector of std::string instances. The data consists of 50% valid commands and 50% invalid commands, with a total of TEST_DATA_SIZE elements (default 1,024 x 1,024 elements).

The benchmarking experiment consists of three functions:

• BM_std_map: Uses a std::map<std::string_view, COMMAND> to perform the translation.
• BM_std_unordered_map: Uses a std::unordered_map<std::string_view, COMMAND> to perform the translation.
• BM_std_array: Uses a std::array<std::pair<std::string_view, COMMAND>, 10> to perform the translation.
• BM_plain_ifs: Uses chained if statements to perform translation. Each benchmark function measures the time it takes to translate the test data using the respective data structure.

Sometimes BM_plain_ifs was slower than BM_std_array, so they are kinda same.

To run the benchmarking experiment, simply compile and execute the provided C++ code. Make sure that the benchmark library is installed and linked properly.
