Hi,
While working on org-recent-headings, I thought I needed a version of
org-find-olp that behaved slightly differently, so I wrote a new
function. It turned out that I didn't need the new function, but I
found that it seems to be much faster than org-find-olp, so it might be
worth using in Org.
Here is the code and test results. The bench-multi-lexical macro is
from:
https://github.com/alphapapa/emacs-package-dev-handbook#bench-multi-macros
You'll note that it slightly differs in behavior in two ways:
1. When an outline path is not found, it returns nil instead of raising
an error. This could easily be changed to match the behavior of
org-find-olp, of course. However, it makes the function easier to use
to check for the existence of an OLP without raising an error, and
AFAICT org-find-olp is only used in a few places, so it might be worth
considering to use this new behavior.
2. Checking for duplicate OLPs is optional. Sometimes it may be useful
to find an OLP regardless of whether a duplicate exists, and this allows
for that.
Provided are two versions of the function: the only difference between
them is that the *-named version uses:
(format org-complex-heading-regexp-format ...)
...while the non-* version uses rx-to-string with an rx form. The
rx-to-string version appears to be significantly faster. I'm not sure
why. Perhaps format is an expensive call--it's the only difference
between the two versions--but my cursory profiling didn't necessarily
indicate that was the source of the difference.
As far as finding duplicates, it seems to work properly in my testing.
But beware, I have only tested the code, not proven it correct.* ;)
If this would be useful to have in Org, whether as a replacement for
org-find-olp or otherwise, I could submit a patch.
Thanks,
Adam

I see that using an "inline" attachment was a bad idea. At least, the
lists.gnu.org Web UI wraps the lines. Here it is as an "attachment"
attachment, in case that helps.

thanks for working on such improvements. Is there something here we
can integrate in Org (master)? If possible, let's just optimize the
current functions with no added constraints or features, then see if
new options and features can be useful.
Thanks!

I ended up writing a function on top of that that does find-or-create,
so you can go to a certain outline path, creating and inserting
(optionally in sorted order) the missing segments as you go. It was
fairly difficult to get right, so perhaps it will be of use to someone,
or appropriate for Worg or even Org proper:
https://github.com/girzel/timesheet.el/blob/master/timesheet.el#L250
Yrs,

thanks for this - don't hesitate to reference it somewhere on Worg if
you think that's useful.
If you think this should go to Org's core, please make a patch and
tell what's the difference with your patch and how to test it to make
sure we really understand the issue at stake. I don't have any issue
with the current implementation of `org-find-olp' so I cannot really
know.
Thanks!

It isn't a replacement for `org-find-olp'! It's just built on top of it.
`org-find-olp' signals an error if the full path isn't found. My
function looks for that error and creates the missing segments of the
path. If `org-find-olp' is the equivalent of "cd" in the shell, this
function is like "mkdir -p", plus the "cd" afterwards. It's nice for
programmatically creating outline structures (ie can be used to create
date trees and the like).
I guess I think worg is sufficient -- it's a nice utility, but perhaps
not necessary for core.
