Hi Aleksander, thanks for taking a look at this.
The proposed code casts `const` variables to non-`const`. I'm surprised MSVC misses it.
I lost where. Can you show me?
Also, there were some issues with the code formatting. The corrected patch is attached.
Sorry, thanks for correcting.
The patch is listed under the "Performance" topic on CF. However, I can't verify any changes in the performance because there were no benchmarks attached that I could reproduce. By looking at the code and the first message in the thread, I assume this is in fact a refactoring.
My mistake, a serious fault.
But the benchmark came from:
pgbench -i -p 5432 -d postgres
pgbench -c 50 -T 300 -S -n
Personally I don't believe that changes like:
- for (int i = 0; i < nxids; i++)
+ int i;
+ for (i = 0; i < nxids; i++)
Yeah, it seems to me that this style will be consolidated in Postgres 'for (int i = 0;'.
.. or:
- for (int index = myoff; index < arrayP->numProcs; index++)
+ numProcs = arrayP->numProcs;
+ for (index = myoff; index < numProcs; index++)
The rationale here is to cache arrayP->numProcs to local variable, which improves performance.
... are of any value, but other changes may be. I choose to keep the patch as-is except for the named defects and let the committer decide which changes, if any, are worth committing.
I'm updating the status to "Ready for Committer".
Thank you.
regards,
Ranier Vilela
