[PATCH] sha1_name: use bsearch_hash() for abbreviations

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

 



This patch updates the abbreviation code to use bsearch_hash() as defined
in [1]. It gets a nice speedup since the old implementation did not use
the fanout table at all.

One caveat about the patch: there is a place where I cast a sha1 hash
into a struct object_id pointer. This is because the abbreviation code
still uses 'const unsigned char *' instead of structs. I wanted to avoid
a hashcpy() in these calls, but perhaps that is not too heavy a cost.

I look forward to feedback on this.

Thanks,

    [PATCH 2/2] packfile: refactor hash search with fanout table

-- >8 --

When computing abbreviation lengths for an object ID against a single
packfile, the method find_abbrev_len_for_pack() currently implements
binary search. This is one of several implementations. One issue with
this implementation is that it ignores the fanout table in the pack-
index.

Translate this binary search to use the existing bsearch_hash() method
that correctly uses a fanout table. To keep the details about pack-
index version 1 or 2 out of sha1_name.c, create a bsearch_pack() method
in packfile.c.

Due to the use of the fanout table, the abbreviation computation is
slightly faster than before. For a fully-repacked copy of the Linux
repo, the following 'git log' commands improved:

* git log --oneline --parents --raw
  Before: 66.83s
  After:  64.85s
  Rel %:  -2.9%

* git log --oneline --parents
  Before: 7.85s
  After:  7.29s
  Rel %: -7.1%
