ui: remove unreachable branches and function calls from write() (
issue6059)
This is at least faster than ui.write() of 4.8.2.
$ HGRCPATH=/dev/null hg files -R mozilla-central --time >/dev/null
4.8.2: time: real 2.340 secs (user 2.310+0.000 sys 0.020+0.000)
4.9rc0: time: real 2.580 secs (user 2.550+0.000 sys 0.020+0.000)
this: time: real 2.230 secs (user 2.210+0.000 sys 0.020+0.000)
Maybe the formatter should own a resolved write() function because it will
just call dest.write(msg) most of the time, but that would be too much for
stable.
How to add fuzzers (partially cribbed from oss-fuzz[0]):
1) git clone https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz
2) cd oss-fuzz
3) python infra/helper.py build_image mercurial
4) docker run --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE -it -v $HG_REPO_PATH:/hg-new \
gcr.io/oss-fuzz/mercurial bash
5) cd /src
6) rm -r mercurial
7) ln -s /hg-new mercurial
8) cd mercurial
9) compile
10) ls $OUT
Step 9 is literally running the command "compile", which is part of
the docker container. Once you have that working, you can build the
fuzzers like this (in the oss-fuzz repo):
python infra/helper.py build_fuzzers --sanitizer address mercurial $HG_REPO_PATH
(you can also say "memory", "undefined" or "coverage" for
sanitizer). Then run the built fuzzers like this:
python infra/helper.py run_fuzzer mercurial -- $FUZZER
