Optimise %hash in sub { %hash || ... }
In %hash || $foo, the %hash is in scalar context, so it has to iterate
through the buckets to produce statistics on bucket usage.
If the || is in void context, the value returned by hash is only ever
used as a boolean (as || doesn’t have to return it). We already opti-
mise it by adding a boolkeys op when it is known at compile time that
|| will be in void context.
In sub { %hash || $foo } it is not known at compile time that it will
be in void context, so it wasn’t optimised.
This commit optimises it by flagging the %hash at compile time as
being possibly in ‘true boolean’ context. When that flag is set,
the rv2hv and padhv ops call block_gimme() to see whether || is in
void context.
This speeds things up signficantly. Here is what I got after optimis-
ing rv2hv but before doing padhv:
$ time ./miniperl -e '%hash = 1..10000; sub { %hash || 1 }->() for 1..100000'
real 0m0.179s
user 0m0.101s
sys 0m0.005s
$ time ./miniperl -e 'my %hash = 1..10000; sub { %hash || 1 }->() for 1..100000'
real 0m5.446s
user 0m2.419s
sys 0m0.015s
(That example is slightly misleading because of the closure, but the
closure version takes 1 sec. when optimised.)
