kotlin-reflect-benchmark-experiments

This is a simple benchmark comparing a few different possible kotlin-reflect implementations:

• DESCRIPTORS – the current implementation which uses K1 descriptors
• DESCRIPTORS_WITH_METADATA – create a descriptor, but then extract protobuf, create a KmClass from it and use its properties
• METADATA – create KmClass directly from @kotlin.Metadata
• RAW_PROTOBUF – read @kotlin.Metadata, and then manually extract the needed data from the protobuf

This benchmark depends on a locally built kotlin-reflect from this branch:
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/tree/udalov-reflect
(Run ./gradlew dist install)

Run benchmark via:

./gradlew cleanJmh jmh
