bdiff: don't check border condition in loop `plast = a + len - 1`. So, this "for" loop iterates from "a" to "plast", inclusive. So, `p == plast` can only be true on the final iteration of the loop. So checking for it on every loop iteration is wasteful. This patch simply decreases the upper bound of the loop by 1 and adds an explicit check after iteration for the `p == plast` case. We can't simply add 1 to the initial value for "i" because that doesn't do the correct thing on empty input strings. `perfbdiff -m 3041e4d59df2` on the Firefox repo becomes significantly faster: ! wall 0.072763 comb 0.070000 user 0.070000 sys 0.000000 (best of 100) ! wall 0.053221 comb 0.060000 user 0.060000 sys 0.000000 (best of 100) For the curious, this code has its origins in 8b067bde6679, which is the changeset that introduced bdiff.c in 2005. Also, GNU diffutils is able to perform a similar line-based diff in under 20ms. So there's likely more perf wins to be found in this code. One of them is the hashing algorithm. But it looks like mpm spent some time testing hash collisions in d0c48891dd4a. I'd like to do the same before switching away from lyhash, just to be on the safe side.

/*
 mpatch.c - efficient binary patching for Mercurial

 This implements a patch algorithm that's O(m + nlog n) where m is the
 size of the output and n is the number of patches.

 Given a list of binary patches, it unpacks each into a hunk list,
 then combines the hunk lists with a treewise recursion to form a
 single hunk list. This hunk list is then applied to the original
 text.

 The text (or binary) fragments are copied directly from their source
 Python objects into a preallocated output string to avoid the
 allocation of intermediate Python objects. Working memory is about 2x
 the total number of hunks.
