changelog: lazily parse manifest node Like the description, we store the raw bytes and convert from hex on access. This patch also marks the beginning of our new parsing method, which is based on newline offsets and doesn't rely on str.split(). Many revsets showed a performance improvement: author(mpm) 0.896565 0.869085 0.868598 desc(bug) 0.887169 0.928164 0.910400 extra(rebase_source) 0.865446 0.871500 0.841644 author(mpm) or author(greg) 1.801832 1.791589 1.731503 author(mpm) or desc(bug) 1.812438 1.851003 1.798764 date(2015) or branch(default) 0.968276 0.974027 0.945792

changelog: lazily parse description Before, the description field was converted to a localstr at parse time. With this patch, we store the raw description and convert to a localstr when it is first accessed. We see a revset speedup for revsets that don't access the description: author(mpm) 0.896565 0.914234 0.869085 date(2015) 0.878797 0.891980 0.862525 extra(rebase_source) 0.865446 0.912514 0.871500 author(mpm) or author(greg) 1.801832 1.860402 1.791589 date(2015) or branch(default) 0.968276 0.994673 0.974027 author(mpm) or desc(bug) or date(2015) or extra(rebase_source) 3.656193 3.721032 3.643593 As you can see, most of these revsets are already faster than from before this refactoring: we have already offset the performance loss from the introduction of the new class representing parsed changelog entries!

context: use changelogrevision Upcoming patches will make the changelogrevision object perform lazy parsing. Let's switch to it. Because we're switching from a tuple to an object, everthing that accesses the internal cached attribute needs to be updated to access via attributes. A nice side-effect is this makes the code easier to read! Surprisingly, this appears to make revsets accessing this data slightly faster (values are before series, p1, this patch): author(mpm) 0.896565 0.929984 0.914234 desc(bug) 0.887169 0.935642 0.921073 date(2015) 0.878797 0.908094 0.891980 extra(rebase_source) 0.865446 0.922624 0.912514 author(mpm) or author(greg) 1.801832 1.902112 1.860402 author(mpm) or desc(bug) 1.812438 1.860977 1.844850 date(2015) or branch(default) 0.968276 1.005824 0.994673 author(mpm) or desc(bug) or date(2015) or extra(rebase_source) 3.656193 3.743381 3.721032
