Almost every constructor of a standard container has a
std::initializer_list<T> argument, and each of them resolved a type
from its spelling, which declares new code:
- GetPriority() resolved the argument name through GetScope(), which
deliberately maps std::initializer_list<T> to std::vector<T>, a
mapping the ranking of overloads relies on. This declared a new
trampoline variable on every call.
- CreateConverter() and the InitializerListConverter resolved the
element type T from a substring of the type name.
Take T from the template arguments of the std::initializer_list class
instead, and instantiate std::vector<T> from it directly for the
ranking. Names like std::vector<std::initializer_list<int>>, where the
list is not the argument class itself, still go through GetScope().
Add interop wrappers for Cpp::GetClassTemplateInstantiationArgs() and
Cpp::GetUnderlyingType().
For example:
import time
import cppjit
cppjit.cppdef("#include <set>\n#include <list>\n#include <vector>\n#include <utility>\n")
types = ["int", "long", "short", "char", "float", "double",
"unsigned int", "unsigned long"]
pairs = [f"std::pair<{a}, {b}>" for a, b in
[("int", "int"), ("long", "double"), ("double", "double"),
("short", "short"), ("float", "float"), ("long", "long"),
("unsigned int", "unsigned long"), ("char", "char")]]
classes = ([cppjit.gbl.std.set[t] for t in types] +
[cppjit.gbl.std.list[t] for t in types] +
[cppjit.gbl.std.vector[p] for p in pairs])
start = time.perf_counter()
for cls in classes:
cls() # first construction of each class
print(f"first construction of {len(classes)} container classes: {1000 * (time.perf_counter() - start):.0f} ms")
This takes about 645 ms instead of 690 ms (median of 3 trials, Linux
x86_64, Python 3.14, CppInterOp/LLVM 22.1.8). The savings grow with the
number of distinct container instantiations created for the first time.
