strbuf_addch: avoid calling strbuf_grow
We mark strbuf_addch as inline, because we expect it may be
called from a tight loop. However, the first thing it does
is call the non-inline strbuf_grow(), which can handle
arbitrary-sized growth. Since we know that we only need a
single character, we can use the inline strbuf_avail() to
quickly check whether we need to grow at all.
Our check is redundant when we do call strbuf_grow(), but
that's OK. The common case is that we avoid calling it at
all, and we have made that case faster.
On a silly pathological case:
perl -le '
print "[core]";
print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..
1000000)
' >input
git config -f input core.key1
this dropped the time to run git-config from:
real 0m0.159s
user 0m0.152s
sys 0m0.004s
to:
real 0m0.140s
user 0m0.136s
sys 0m0.004s
for a savings of 12%.
