Russell Belfer 0c468633 2013-03-14T13:40:15 Improved tree iterator internals This updates the tree iterator internals to be more efficient. The tree_iterator_entry objects are now kept as pointers that are allocated from a git_pool, so that we may use git__tsort_r for sorting (which is better than qsort, given that the tree is likely mostly ordered already). Those tree_iterator_entry objects now keep direct pointers to the data they refer to instead of keeping indirect index values. This simplifies a lot of the data structure traversal code. This also adds bsearch to find the start item position for range- limited tree iterators, and is more explicit about using git_path_cmp instead of reimplementing it. The git_path_cmp changed a bit to make it easier for tree_iterators to use it (but it was barely being used previously, so not a big deal). This adds a git_pool_free_array function that efficiently frees a list of pool allocated pointers (which the tree_iterator keeps). Also, added new tests for the git_pool free list functionality that was not previously being tested (or used).
Russell Belfer 19fa2bc1 2012-04-17T15:12:50 Convert attrs and diffs to use string pools This converts the git attr related code (including ignores) and the git diff related code (and implicitly the status code) to use `git_pools` for storing strings. This reduces the number of small blocks allocated dramatically.
Russell Belfer 2bc8fa02 2012-04-17T10:14:24 Implement git_pool paged memory allocator This adds a `git_pool` object that can do simple paged memory allocation with free for the entire pool at once. Using this, you can replace many small allocations with large blocks that can then cheaply be doled out in small pieces. This is best used when you plan to free the small blocks all at once - for example, if they represent the parsed state from a file or data stream that are either all kept or all discarded. There are two real patterns of usage for `git_pools`: either for "string" allocation, where the item size is a single byte and you end up just packing the allocations in together, or for "fixed size" allocation where you are allocating a large object (e.g. a `git_oid`) and you generally just allocation single objects that can be tightly packed. Of course, you can use it for other things, but those two cases are the easiest.
