28 /* The code in this file critically affects class method invocation
29 speed. This long preamble comment explains why, and the issues
30 involved.
32 One of the traditional weaknesses of the GNU Objective-C runtime is
33 that class method invocations are slow. The reason is that when you
34 write
36 array = [NSArray new];
38 this gets basically compiled into the equivalent of
40 array = [(objc_get_class ("NSArray")) new];
42 objc_get_class returns the class pointer corresponding to the string
43 `NSArray'; and because of the lookup, the operation is more
44 complicated and slow than a simple instance method invocation.
46 Most high performance Objective-C code (using the GNU Objc runtime)
47 I had the opportunity to read (or write) work around this problem by
48 caching the class pointer:
50 Class arrayClass = [NSArray class];
52 ... later on ...
54 array = [arrayClass new];
55 array = [arrayClass new];
56 array = [arrayClass new];
58 In this case, you always perform a class lookup (the first one), but
59 then all the [arrayClass new] methods run exactly as fast as an
60 instance method invocation. It helps if you have many class method
61 invocations to the same class.
63 The long-term solution to this problem would be to modify the
64 compiler to output tables of class pointers corresponding to all the
65 class method invocations, and to add code to the runtime to update
66 these tables - that should in the end allow class method invocations
67 to perform precisely as fast as instance method invocations, because
68 no class lookup would be involved. I think the Apple Objective-C
69 runtime uses this technique. Doing this involves synchronized
70 modifications in the runtime and in the compiler.
72 As a first medicine to the problem, I [NP] have redesigned and
73 rewritten the way the runtime is performing class lookup. This
74 doesn't give as much speed as the other (definitive) approach, but
75 at least a class method invocation now takes approximately 4.5 times
76 an instance method invocation on my machine (it would take approx 12
77 times before the rewriting), which is a lot better.
79 One of the main reason the new class lookup is so faster is because
80 I implemented it in a way that can safely run multithreaded without
81 using locks - a so-called `lock-free' data structure. The atomic
82 operation is pointer assignment. The reason why in this problem
83 lock-free data structures work so well is that you never remove
84 classes from the table - and the difficult thing with lock-free data
85 structures is freeing data when is removed from the structures. */
