From 71d9a2e99138ed401e2678b4295b72210a398346 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2024 11:49:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] reftable/record: reuse refname when decoding MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When decoding a reftable record we will first release the user-provided record and then decode the new record into it. This is quite inefficient as we basically need to reallocate at least the refname every time. Refactor the function to start tracking the refname capacity. Like this, we can stow away the refname, release, restore and then grow the refname to the required number of bytes via `REFTABLE_ALLOC_GROW()`. This refactoring is safe to do because all functions that assigning to the refname will first call `reftable_ref_record_release()`, which will zero out the complete record after releasing memory. This change results in a nice speedup when iterating over 1 million refs: Benchmark 1: show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 124.0 ms ± 3.9 ms [User: 121.1 ms, System: 2.7 ms] Range (min … max): 120.4 ms … 152.7 ms 1000 runs Benchmark 2: show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 114.4 ms ± 3.7 ms [User: 111.5 ms, System: 2.7 ms] Range (min … max): 111.0 ms … 152.1 ms 1000 runs Summary show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD) ran 1.08 ± 0.05 times faster than show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD~) Furthermore, with this change we now perform a mostly constant number of allocations when iterating.
