Add iterator method specialisations to Range* #47180

varkor · 2018-01-04T12:41:59Z

Add specialised implementations of max for Range, and last, min and max for RangeInclusive, all of which lead to significant advantages in the generated assembly on x86.

Note that adding specialisations of min and last for Range led to no benefit, and adding sum for Range and RangeInclusive led to type inference issues (though this is possibly still worthwhile considering the performance gain).

This addresses some of the concerns in #39975.

+ Some(self.start)


Currently min for RangeFrom will either panic with overflow or loop forever so this is a change of behaviour. As RangeFrom is fundamentally broken right now (#25708) I don't think it's a good idea to specialise methods for it just yet.

Yeah, I was considering not adding this yet. I'll remove it, as it would be better placed in a separate change.

Shouldn't this and last return None once the iterator is exhausted?

Yep, it definitely should.

bluss · 2018-01-05T18:05:37Z

You can use either self.next() or self.next_back() in all of these to get the right Some/Noneness

alexcrichton · 2018-01-05T20:42:47Z

Thanks! Although now that it's been brought up, @bluss's suggestion sounds like a great way to future-proof these as well. Want to implement it via that?

varkor · 2018-01-08T16:32:41Z

I've been doing some benchmarks, and I must have overlooked something before, because min for Range does lead to performance gains, although last does seem not to. It might be worth implementing them both for consistency, though. I'm going to push another commit adding them — sorry for the confusion!

Something odd is going on with optimisation for min — I'll look into it, but it's easier to leave it for a follow-up commit.

@bors r-

I think 3 consecutive timeouts indicate there's some performance problem here (or you are really unlucky). @varkor could you investigate the "min" optimization mentioned #47180 (comment)?

(We could re-r+ if it turns out there's nothing more to do)

varkor · 2018-01-09T19:42:57Z

The min method is now taking ~1 n/s to execute, on par with the other methods. I can't see this being the issue though, because each of the changes in the previous commit only improved the efficiency of the iterator methods. I don't see how any of these changes could be a regression.

Pushing 73ac5d6 to master...

Calling `min` on `RangeFrom` currently causes an infinite loop. Although other methods such as `max` also result in an infinite loop, it is strictly incorrect in the case of `min`. Adding a specialisation fixes this. Separated from rust-lang#47180 because this technically changes behaviour; it’s not just an optimisation, so it’s a little different.
