[PATCH v2 3/3] attr: avoid heavy work when we know the specified attr is not defined

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

 



If we have never seen attr 'X' in any .gitattributes file we have
examined so far, we can be sure that 'X' is not defined. So no need to
go over all the attr stack to look for attr 'X'. This is the purpose
behind this new field maybe_real.

This optimization breaks down if macros are involved because we can't
know for sure what macro would expand to 'X' at attr parsing time. But
if we go the pessimistic way and assume all macros are expanded, we hit
the builtin "binary" macro. At least the "diff" attr defined in this
macro will disable this optimization for git-grep. So we wait until
any attr lines _may_ reference to a macro before we turn this off.

In git.git, this reduces the number of fill_one() call for "git grep
abcdefghi" from ~5348 to 2955. The optimization stops when it reads
t/.gitattributes, which uses 'binary' macro. We could probably reduce
it further by limiting the 'binary' reference to t/ and subdirs only
in this case.

"git grep" is actually a good example to justify this patch. The
command checks "diff" attribute on every file. People usually don't
define this attribute. But they pay the attr lookup penalty anyway
without this patch, proportional to the number of attr lines they have
in repo.
