We mark strbuf_addch as inline, because we expect it may be called from a tight loop. However, the first thing it does is call the non-inline strbuf_grow(), which can handle arbitrary-sized growth. Since we know that we only need a single character, we can use the inline strbuf_avail() to quickly check whether we need to grow at all. Our check is redundant when we do call strbuf_grow(), but that's OK. The common case is that we avoid calling it at all, and we have made that case faster. On a silly pathological case: perl -le ' print "[core]"; print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000) ' >input git config -f input core.key1 this dropped the time to run git-config from: real 0m0.159s user 0m0.152s sys 0m0.004s to: real 0m0.140s user 0m0.136s sys 0m0.004s for a savings of 12%. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I doubt anybody will really notice this in practice with config files, and for the most part we do not have tight loops of strbuf_addch elsewhere. But it is such an easy optimization, I'd rather do it now while we're thinking about it. strbuf.h | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/strbuf.h b/strbuf.h index 1883494..01c5c63 100644 --- a/strbuf.h +++ b/strbuf.h @@ -205,7 +205,8 @@ extern int strbuf_cmp(const struct strbuf *, const struct strbuf *); */ static inline void strbuf_addch(struct strbuf *sb, int c) { - strbuf_grow(sb, 1); + if (!strbuf_avail(sb)) + strbuf_grow(sb, 1); sb->buf[sb->len++] = c; sb->buf[sb->len] = '\0'; } -- 2.4.0.rc2.384.g7297a4a -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
