Replace two-step of convertsimple() and convertsimple1() with
convertsimple() and helper converterr(), which is called to format
error messages when convertsimple() fails.  The old code did all the
real work in convertsimple1(), but deferred error message formatting
to conversimple().  The result was paying the price of a second
function call on every call just to format error messages in the
failure cases.

Factor out of the buffer-handling code in convertsimple() and package
it as convertbuffer().

Add two macros to ease readability of Unicode coversions,
UNICODE_DEFAULT_ENCODING() and CONV_UNICODE, an error string.

The convertsimple() routine had awful indentation problems, primarily
because there were two tabs between the case line and the body of the
case statements.  This patch reformats the entire function to have a
single tab between case line and case body, which makes the code
easier to read (and consistent with ceval).  The introduction of
converterr() exacerbated the problem and prompted this fix.

closing paren in a few if statements.

roundupsize() and friends:  fiddle over-allocation strategy for list
resizing.

Accurate timings are impossible on my Win98SE box, but this is obviously
faster even on this box for reasonable list.append() cases.  I give
credit for this not to the resizing strategy but to getting rid of integer
multiplication and divsion (in favor of shifting) when computing the
rounded-up size.

For unreasonable list.append() cases, Win98SE now displays linear behavior
for one-at-time appends up to a list with about 35 million elements.  Then
it dies with a MemoryError, due to fatally fragmented *address space*
(there's plenty of VM available, but by this point Win9X has broken user
space into many distinct heaps none of which has enough contiguous space
left to resize the list, and for whatever reason Win9x isn't coalescing
the dead heaps).  Before the patch it got a MemoryError for the same
reason, but once the list reached about 2 million elements.

Haven't yet tried on Win2K but have high hopes extreme list.append()
will be much better behaved now (NT & Win2K didn't fragment address space,
but suffered obvious quadratic-time behavior before as lists got large).

For other systems I'm relying on common sense:  replacing integer * and /
by << and >> can't plausibly hurt, the number of function calls hasn't
changed, and the total operation count for reasonably small lists is about

24 years agoSF patch #425242: Patch which "inlines" small dictionaries.
Tim Peters [Tue, 22 May 2001 20:40:22 +0000 (20:40 +0000)]
SF patch #425242:  Patch which "inlines" small dictionaries.
The idea is Marc-Andre Lemburg's, the implementation is Tim's.
Add a new ma_smalltable member to dictobjects, an embedded vector of
MINSIZE (8) dictentry structs.  Short course is that this lets us avoid
additional malloc(s) for dicts with no more than 5 entries.

The changes are widespread but mostly small.

Long course:  WRT speed, all scalar operations (getitem, setitem, delitem)
on non-empty dicts benefit from no longer needing NULL-pointer checks
(ma_table is never NULL anymore).  Bulk operations (copy, update, resize,
clearing slots during dealloc) benefit in some cases from now looping
on the ma_fill count rather than on ma_size, but that was an unexpected
benefit:  the original reason to loop on ma_fill was to let bulk
operations on empty dicts end quickly (since the NULL-pointer checks
went away, empty dicts aren't special-cased any more).

Special considerations:

For dicts that remain empty, this change is a lose on two counts:
the dict object contains 8 new dictentry slots now that weren't
needed before, and dict object creation also spends time memset'ing
these doomed-to-be-unsused slots to NULLs.

For dicts with one or two entries that never get larger than 2, it's
a mix:  a malloc()/free() pair is no longer needed, and the 2-entry case
gets to use 8 slots (instead of 4) thus decreasing the chance of
collision.  Against that, dict object creation spends time memset'ing
4 slots that aren't strictly needed in this case.

For dicts with 3 through 5 entries that never get larger than 5, it's a
pure win:  the dict is created with all the space they need, and they
never need to resize.  Before they suffered two malloc()/free() calls,
plus 1 dict resize, to get enough space.  In addition, the 8-slot
table they ended with consumed more memory overall, because of the
hidden overhead due to the additional malloc.

For dicts with 6 or more entries, the ma_smalltable member is wasted
space, but then these are large(r) dicts so 8 slots more or less doesn't
make much difference.  They still benefit all the time from removing
ubiquitous dynamic null-pointer checks, and get a small benefit (but
relatively smaller the larger the dict) from not having to do two
mallocs, two frees, and a resize on the way *to* getting their sixth
entry.

All in all it appears a small but definite general win, with larger
benefits in specific cases.  It's especially nice that it allowed to
get rid of several branches, gotos and labels, and overall made the
code smaller.
