[PATCH] Choose XDL_FAST_HASH code on sizeof(long) instead of __WORDSIZE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Darwin does not define __WORDSIZE, and compiles the 32-bit code path
on 64-bit systems, resulting in a totally broken git.

I could not find an alternative -- other than the platform symbols
(__x86_64__ etc.) -- that does the test in the preprocessor.  However,
we can also just test for the size of a 'long', which is what really
matters here.  Any compiler worth its salt will leave only the branch
relevant for its platform, and indeed on Linux/GCC the numbers don't
change:

 Test                                  tr/darwin-xdl-fast-hash   origin/next              origin/master

Incidentally, on the OS X machine I have access to, the difference is
even bigger, something like 14% for 'log -p -3000'.  I'm too lazy to
work out the exact numbers since the perf code doesn't work there.
