From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@xxxxxxxxx> populate_value() uses CALLOC_ARRAY() to allocate dynamic memory for ref->value. But after that, we immediately assign values to its members in the for loop. This shows that it is not necessary to use CALLOC_ARRAY() for ref->value to clear the memory. Therefore, use ALLOC_ARRAY() instead of CALLOC_ARRAY() to reduce the overhead caused by clearing the memory. This can bring performance optimizations.
