bytes, strings: optimize for ASCII sets · 9a8c6953

Joe Tsai authored Oct 20, 2016

An analysis of their usage shows that over 97% of them only use character
sets consisting of only ASCII symbols.

Uses of ContainsAny|IndexAny|LastIndexAny:
6% are 1 character (e.g., "\n" or " ")
58% are 2-4 characters (e.g., "<>" or "\r\n\t ")
24% are 5-9 characters (e.g., "()[]*^$")
10% are 10+ characters (e.g., "+-=&|><!(){}[]^\"~*?:\\/ ")
We optimize for ASCII sets, which are commonly used to search for
"control" characters in some string. We don't optimize for the
single character scenario since IndexRune or IndexByte could be used.

Uses of Trim|TrimLeft|TrimRight:
71% are 1 character (e.g., "\n" or " ")
14% are 2 characters (e.g., "\r\n")
10% are 3-4 characters (e.g., " \t\r\n")
5% are 10+ characters (e.g., "0123456789abcdefABCDEF")
We optimize for the single character case with a simple closured function
that only checks for that character's value. We optimize for the medium
and larger sets using a 16-byte bit-map representing a set of ASCII characters.

The benchmarks below have the following suffix name "%d:%d" where the first
number is the length of the input and the second number is the length
of the charset.

The benchmarks added test the worst case. For IndexAny, that is when the
charset matches none of the input. For Trim, it is when the charset matches
all of the input.
