It's gone from 136 bytes to a 128 bytes by rearranging the items in order of
decreasing alignment requirements. While this reduces the memory consumption
slightly (by around 6%) for each completion we have in-memory, that translates
to only around ~8KiB of savings for a command with 1000 possible completions,
which is nice but ultimately not that big of a deal.
The bigger benefit is that a single `complete_entry_t` might now fit in a cache
line, hopefully making the process of testing completions for matches more
cache friendly (and maybe even faster).
...for improved cross-platform support.
Following up on the work in c90ac7b. There was one more test that had mktemp in
the littlecheck "shebang" and this also removes a now-unnecessary `env` prefix.
Commit 09685c3682 tried making the apt
completions faster by doing two things:
1. Introduce a limiting "head"
2. Re-replace our "string" usage with tr
Unfortunately, in doing so it introduced a few issues:
1. The "tr" had a dangling "+" so it cut apart package
descriptions that contained a "+".
This caused e.g. "a C++ library" to generate another completion
candidate, "library".
2. In reusing "tr" it probably reintroduced #8575,
as tr is not 8-bit-clean.
3. It filtered too early, on the raw apt-cache output,
which caused it to fill up with long descriptions.
So e.g. for "texlive" it would only generate 10 completions,
where it should have matched 54 packages.
Because most of the speedup is in the "head" stopping early, we
instead go back to the old string way, but introduce a limiting "head"
after the "sed" (which will have removed everything but the package
name line and the first line of the description)
In my tests this is about ~10% slower than doing head early and using
tr, but it's more correct.
Admittedly I haven't been able to reproduce the 35s scenario that
09685 talks about, but the most likely cause of that is *apt-cache*
being slow - I don't see how string can be that much slower on another
system - and so it will most likely also be fixed by doing head here.
Future possibilities here include:
1. Using "apt-cache search --names-only", which gives a much nicer
format (but only for non-installed packages - the search strings are
apparently ANDed?)
2. Switching to `string split`, possibly using NUL and using `string
split0`?
3. Introducing a `string --null-in` switch so we can get by with one
`string`
4. (multi-threaded execution so the `string`s run in parallel)
All usages of `mktemp` must go through the (fish-only) `mktemp` test function
that abstracts over the differences across multiple platforms/flavors.
Tests can be easily run individually via `ninja -C build test_xxx` and there
isn't a good reason to randomly manually override $HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for
a test here and a test there.
If it's absolutely necessary, littlecheck.py should be extended to support a
`%temp` variable initialized to a temporary directory and that can be used
instead of calling out to the platform-provided `mktemp` via a subshell.
The impact here depends on the command and how much output it
produces.
It's possible to get up to 1.5x - `string upper` being a good example,
or a no-op `string match '*'`.
But the more the command actually needs to do, the less of an effect
this has.
This basically immediately issues a "write()" if it's to a pipe or the
terminal.
That means we can reduce syscalls and improve performance, even by
doing something like
```c++
streams.out.append(somewcstring + L"\n");
```
instead of
```c++
streams.out.append(somewcstring);
streams.out.push_back(L'\n');
```
Some benchmarks of the
```fish
for i in (string repeat -n 2000 \n)
$thing
end
```
variety:
1. `set` (printing variables) sped up 1.75x
2. `builtin -n` 1.60x
3. `jobs` 1.25x (with 3 jobs)
4. `functions` 1.20x
5. `math 1 + 1` 1.1x
6. `pwd` 1.1x
Piping yields similar results, there is no real difference when
outputting to a command substitution.
This writes the output once per argument instead of once per format or
escaped char.
An egregious case:
```fish
printf (string repeat -n 200 \\x7f)%s\n (string repeat -n 2000 aaa\n)
```
Has been sped up by ~20x by reducing write() calls from 40000 to 200.
Even a simple
```fish
printf %s\n (string repeat -n 2000 aaa\n)
```
should now be ~1.2x faster by issuing 2000 instead of 4000 write
calls (the `\n` was written separately!).
This at least halves the number of "write()" calls we do if it goes to
a pipe or the terminal, or reduces them by 75% if there is a
description.
This makes
```fish
complete -c foo -xa "(seq 50000)"
complete -C"foo "
```
faster by 1.33x.
`apt-cache` is just so incredibly slow that filtering against the final results
just doesn't cut it. Attempting to match against 'ac.*' (already taking
advantage of changing short search terms into prefix-only matches) would take
35 seconds, all of bottlenecked before the filtering step. This change uses more
of a heuristic to filter `apt-cache` results directly (before additional
filtering) to speed things up.
A variety of different limits from 100 to 5000 were timed and their result sets
compared to see what ended up artificially limiting valid completions vs what
took too long to be considered functional/usable and this is where we ended up.
This uses wreaddir_resolving, which tries to use the dirent d_type
field if it exists. In that way, it can skip the `stat` to determine
if the given file is a directory.
This allows `cd` completions to skip stat in most cases:
```fish
strace -Ce newfstatat fish --no-config -c 'complete -C"cd /tmp/completion_test/"' >/dev/null
```
prints before:
```
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100,00 0,002627 2 1033 4 newfstatat
```
after:
```
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100,00 0,000054 1 31 3 newfstatat
```
for a directory with 1000 subdirectories.
(just `fish --no-config -c exit` does 26 newfstatat)
This should improve the situation with slow filesystems like fuse or
network fsen.
In case we have no d_type, we use `stat`, which would yield about the
same results.
The worst case is that we need directories *and* descriptions or the
"executable" flag (which we don't currently check for cd, if I read
this right?).
For unknown reasons, the i686 launchpad builders fail on this date,
but apparently not the others.
Let's just remove it, we've tested dates older than the epoch, this is
slightly redundant.
This adds preprocessor defines for _LARGEFILE_SOURCE and
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and a few others, fixing a bug that was reported on
gitter. This prevents issues when running fish on 32 bit systems that
have filesystems with 64 bit inodes.
As discussed in #9221, a bug in the autocomplete that was fixed in 66391922
caused completions to be incorrectly suppressed. The dropped test/check was
inadvertently relying on the buggy behavior and expected a git invocation to
generate no completions but there are, in fact, completions now that the bug has
been resolved.
cc @faho: I'm not sure if you want to replace this with a different check that
actually doesn't yield any completions or if you're happy with it just being
dropped.
This flag determines whether or not more shortopt switches will be offered up as
potential completions (vs only the payload for the last-parsed shortopt switch).
Previously, it was being stomped before it was determined whether or not two
`complete` rules with different `result_mode.requires_param` values were
actually resolved against the current command line or not, and the last
evaluated completion rule would win out.
There are two changes here:
* `last_option_requires_param` is only assigned if all associated conditions for
a potential completion are also met, and
* If already assigned by a conflicting rule (which can only be user/developer
error), `last_option_requires_param` is allowed to change from true to false
but not the other way around (i.e. in case of a conflict, generate both
payloads and other shortopt completions)
The first change is immediately noticeable and affects many of our own
completions, see the discussion in #9221 for an example regarding `git` where
`-c` has any of about a million different possible meanings depending on which
completion preconditions have been met. The second change should only happen if
a dev/user mistakenly enters a `complete -c ...` rule for the same shortopt more
than once, both with conditions matching, sometimes requiring an argument and
not sometimes not. It should be a rare occurence.
g++ 4.8 emits a bogus warning on code like foo{}. Add a compiler flag
-Wno-missing-field-initializers if that warning is detected, because it
is annoying.
This reverts commit 3d8f98c395.
In addition to the issues mentioned on the GitHub page for this commit,
it also broke the CentOS 7 build.
Note one can locally test the CentOS 7 build via:
./docker/docker_run_tests.sh ./docker/centos7.Dockerfile
This fails on old Ubuntu with:
> touch: invalid date format ‘190112112040.39’
Because we don't actually need the seconds here, we just use minute
resolution. It's fine.
Also use `path mtime`, because that's a portable way to get the mtime.
Be more careful with sign extension issues stemming from the differences in how
an untyped literal is promoted to an integer vs how a typed (and signed) `char`
is promoted to an integer.
Also convert some `const[expr] static xxx` to `const[expr] xxx` where it makes
sense to let the compiler deduce on its own whether or not to allocate storage
for a constant variable rather than imposing our view that it should have STATIC
storage set aside for it.
A few call sites were not making use of the `XXX_LEN` definitions and were
calling `strlen(XXX)` - these have been updated to use `const_strlen(XXX)`
instead.
I'm not sure if any toolchains will have raise any issues with these changes...
CI will tell!
The optimization takes references to strings which are stored in a vector,
and stores those references in a set; but the strings are simultaneously
being moved within the vector, which may invalidate those references.
It's probably safe if you work through which particular strings are being
moved, but as a matter of principle we shouldn't take references to elements
of a vector while the vector is being rearranged, absenet a clear improvement
on a benchmark.
This reverts commit d5561623aa.
I forgot `stat` is non-portable. There's no great way to portably get a
machine-readable representation of stat(2) for a file. I don't want to ship our
own lstat(2) wrapper executable just for this test and don't want to fork out to
python or perl for this either - I just wanted to get the tests to pass under
WSL :'(
Anyway, just give up and make it skip just for WSL. If another OS fails this
test in the future, the comments and existing workaround will make it easy to
figure out what the problem is and what needs to be done. We'll cross that
bridge when we get there.
Whenever the command line changes, we redraw it with the previously computed
syntax highlighting. At the same time we start recomputing highlighting in
a background thread.
On some systems, the highlighting computation is slow, so the stale syntax
highlighting is visible.
The stale highlighting was computed for an old commandline. When the user
had inserted or deleted some characters in the middle, then the highlighting
is wrong for the characters to the right. This is because the characters
to the right have shifted but the highlighting hasn't. Fix this by also
shifting highlighting.
This means that text that was alrady highlighted will use the same
highlighting until a new one is computed. Newly inserted text uses the color
left of the cursor.
This is implemented by giving editable_line_t ownership of the highlighting.
It is able to perfectly sync text and highlighting; they will invariably
have the same length.
Fixes#9180
While its true that we only ever call this with temporaries, there is no
fundamental reason for this restriction. Taking by value is simpler and
more flexible. I think it does not change the generated code.
No functional change.
The idea for this function was that it stands as the one place that modifies
the text without push_edit. In practice I don't think it helps.
No functional change.
In theory this does less work so we should generally use this style.
In practice it looks uglier so I'm not sure. Maybe wait for stdlib ranges...
No functional change.
