![]() I think it's debatable which is the most common usage of
`FileUtils.mkdir_p`, but even assuming the most common use case is
creating a folder when it doesn't previously exist but the parent does,
this optimization doesn't seem to have a noticiable effect there while
harming other use cases.
For benchmarks, I created this script
```ruby
require "benchmark/ips"
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report("old mkdir_p - exists") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p "/tmp"
end
x.report("new_mkdir_p - exists") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p_new "/tmp"
end
x.compare!
end
FileUtils.rm_rf "/tmp/foo"
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report("old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p "/tmp/foo"
FileUtils.rm_rf "/tmp/foo"
end
x.report("new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p_new "/tmp/foo"
FileUtils.rm_rf "/tmp/foo"
end
x.compare!
end
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report("old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p "/tmp/foo/bar"
FileUtils.rm_rf "/tmp/foo"
end
x.report("new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p_new "/tmp/foo/bar"
FileUtils.rm_rf "/tmp/foo"
end
x.compare!
end
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report("old mkdir_p - more levels") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p "/tmp/foo/bar/baz"
FileUtils.rm_rf "/tmp/foo"
end
x.report("new_mkdir_p - more levels") do
FileUtils.mkdir_p_new "/tmp/foo/bar/baz"
FileUtils.rm_rf "/tmp/foo"
end
x.compare!
end
```
and copied the method with the "optimization" removed as
`FileUtils.mkdir_p_new`. The results are as below:
```
Warming up --------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - exists 15.914k i/100ms
new_mkdir_p - exists 46.512k i/100ms
Calculating -------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - exists 161.461k (± 3.2%) i/s - 811.614k in 5.032315s
new_mkdir_p - exists 468.192k (± 2.9%) i/s - 2.372M in 5.071225s
Comparison:
new_mkdir_p - exists: 468192.1 i/s
old mkdir_p - exists: 161461.0 i/s - 2.90x (± 0.00) slower
Warming up --------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists
2.142k i/100ms
new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists
1.961k i/100ms
Calculating -------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists
21.242k (± 6.7%) i/s - 107.100k in 5.069206s
new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists
19.682k (± 4.2%) i/s - 100.011k in 5.091961s
Comparison:
old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists: 21241.7 i/s
new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent exists: 19681.7 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within error
Warming up --------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either
945.000 i/100ms
new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either
1.002k i/100ms
Calculating -------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either

new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either

Comparison:
new_mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either: 10806.3 i/s
old mkdir_p - doesnt exist, parent either: 9689.3 i/s - 1.12x (± 0.00) slower
Warming up --------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - more levels
702.000 i/100ms
new_mkdir_p - more levels

Calculating -------------------------------------
old mkdir_p - more levels

new_mkdir_p - more levels
7.685k (± 5.5%) i/s - 38.750k in 5.061351s
Comparison:
new_mkdir_p - more levels: 7685.1 i/s
old mkdir_p - more levels: 7046.4 i/s - same-ish: difference falls within error
```
I think it's better to keep the code simpler is the optimization is not
so clear like in this case.
