I've put a fair bit of work into making builtins behave like other
|
|
programs as far as pipes are concerned. Unlike i.e. bash, builtins
|
|
can pipe to other builtins with arbitrary amounts of data, and so
|
|
on. To do this, after a builtin is run in the real process, it
|
|
forks and a dummy process is created, responsible for writing the
|
|
output of the builtin. This is surprisingly cheap on my computer,
|
|
probably because of the marvels of copy on write forking.
|
|
|
|
This rule is short circuted in the case where a builtin does not
|
|
output to a pipe and does in fact not output anything. The speed
|
|
improvement from this optimization is not noticable on a normal
|
|
computer/OS in regular use, but the promiscous amounts of forking
|
|
that resulted was responsible for a huge slowdown when using
|
|
Valgrind as well as when doing complex command-specific
|
|
completions.
