Yusuke Endoh	a0980f2446	Revert "Add a specialized instruction for .nil? calls" ... This reverts commit 9faef3113f. It seemed to cause a failure on macOS Mojave, though I'm unsure how. https://rubyci.org/logs/rubyci.s3.amazonaws.com/osx1014/ruby-master/log/20190802T034503Z.fail.html.gz This tentative revert is to check if the issue is actually caused by the change or not.	2019-08-02 15:03:34 +09:00
Aaron Patterson	9faef3113f	Add a specialized instruction for .nil? calls ... This commit adds a specialized instruction for called to `.nil?`. It is about 27% faster than master in the case where the object is nil or not nil. In the case where an object implements `nil?`, I think it may be slightly slower. Here is a benchmark: ```ruby require "benchmark/ips" class Niller def nil?; true; end end not_nil = Object.new xnil = nil niller = Niller.new Benchmark.ips do |x| x.report("nil?") { xnil.nil? } x.report("not nil") { not_nil.nil? } x.report("niller") { niller.nil? } end ``` On Ruby master: ``` [aaron@TC ~/g/ruby (master)]$ ./ruby compil.rb Warming up -------------------------------------- nil? 429.195k i/100ms not nil 437.889k i/100ms niller 437.935k i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- nil? 20.166M (± 8.1%) i/s - 100.002M in 5.002794s not nil 20.046M (± 7.6%) i/s - 99.839M in 5.020086s niller 22.467M (± 6.1%) i/s - 112.111M in 5.013817s [aaron@TC ~/g/ruby (master)]$ ./ruby compil.rb Warming up -------------------------------------- nil? 449.660k i/100ms not nil 433.836k i/100ms niller 443.073k i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- nil? 19.997M (± 8.8%) i/s - 99.375M in 5.020458s not nil 20.529M (± 7.0%) i/s - 102.385M in 5.020689s niller 21.796M (± 8.0%) i/s - 108.110M in 5.002300s [aaron@TC ~/g/ruby (master)]$ ./ruby compil.rb Warming up -------------------------------------- nil? 402.119k i/100ms not nil 438.968k i/100ms niller 398.226k i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- nil? 20.050M (±12.2%) i/s - 98.519M in 5.008817s not nil 20.614M (± 8.0%) i/s - 102.280M in 5.004531s niller 22.223M (± 8.8%) i/s - 110.309M in 5.013106s ``` On this branch: ``` [aaron@TC ~/g/ruby (specialized-nilp)]$ ./ruby compil.rb Warming up -------------------------------------- nil? 468.371k i/100ms not nil 456.517k i/100ms niller 454.981k i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- nil? 27.849M (± 7.8%) i/s - 138.169M in 5.001730s not nil 26.417M (± 8.7%) i/s - 131.020M in 5.011674s niller 21.561M (± 7.5%) i/s - 107.376M in 5.018113s [aaron@TC ~/g/ruby (specialized-nilp)]$ ./ruby compil.rb Warming up -------------------------------------- nil? 477.259k i/100ms not nil 428.712k i/100ms niller 446.109k i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- nil? 28.071M (± 7.3%) i/s - 139.837M in 5.016590s not nil 25.789M (±12.9%) i/s - 126.470M in 5.011144s niller 20.002M (±12.2%) i/s - 98.144M in 5.001737s [aaron@TC ~/g/ruby (specialized-nilp)]$ ./ruby compil.rb Warming up -------------------------------------- nil? 467.676k i/100ms not nil 445.791k i/100ms niller 415.024k i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- nil? 26.907M (± 8.0%) i/s - 133.755M in 5.013915s not nil 25.319M (± 7.9%) i/s - 125.713M in 5.007758s niller 19.569M (±11.8%) i/s - 96.286M in 5.008533s ``` Co-Authored-By: Ashe Connor <kivikakk@github.com>	2019-07-31 16:21:25 -07:00
