This reduces the memory use of a merge by 1/3rd. The space leak was apparently because the whole update-index input was generated strictly, not lazily. I wondered if the change to ByteStrings contributed to this, due to the need to convert with L.pack here. But going back to the old code, I still see a much similar leak, and worse performance besides due to it not using ByteStrings. The fix is to just hPutStr the lines repeatedly. (Note the \0 is written separately, to avoid allocation overheads in adding it to the string.) The Git.pipeWrite interface is probably just wrong for any large inputs to git. This was the only place using it for input of any size. There is still at least one other space leak in the merge code. |
