Subject: [PATCH 7/9] strbuf_getwholeline: use getdelim if it is available
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 05:01:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150416090138.GG17938@peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150416084733.GA17811@peff.net>
We spend a lot of time in strbuf_getwholeline in a tight
loop reading characters from a stdio handle into a buffer.
The libc getdelim() function can do this for us with less
overhead. It's in POSIX.1-2008, and was a GNU extension
before that. Therefore we can't rely on it, but can fall
back to the existing getc loop when it is not available.
The HAVE_GETDELIM knob is turned on automatically for Linux,
where we have glibc. We don't need to set any new
feature-test macros, because we already define _GNU_SOURCE.
Other systems that implement getdelim may need to other
macros (probably _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L), but we can
address that along with setting the Makefile knob after
testing the feature on those systems.
Running "git rev-parse refs/heads/does-not-exist" on a repo
with an extremely large (1.6GB) packed-refs file went from
(best-of-5):
real 0m8.601s
user 0m8.084s
sys 0m0.524s
to:
real 0m6.768s
user 0m6.340s
sys 0m0.432s
for a wall-clock speedup of 21%.
Based on a patch from Rasmus Villemoes <rv@rasmusvillemoes.dk>.

If somebody has a FreeBSD or OS X system to test on, I'd
love to see what is needed to compile with HAVE_GETDELIM
there. And to confirm that the performance is much better.
Sharing my 1.6GB packed-refs file would be hard, but you
should be able to generate something large and ridiculous.
I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader.
