On a machine that is not very high-powered, opening some C files
and trying to edit/view them is very slow.
For example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qca/qcamain_open_hal_public/master/hal/ar9300/osprey_reg_map_macro.h
This is a large file and filled with macros.
Is there any way to view this without disabling font-lock entirely ?
I am using the master branch and I have these in my .emacs:
(global-font-lock-mode t)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration
(quote ((c-mode . 2) (c++-mode . 2) (t . t))))
(setq c-font-lock-extra-types
(quote
("\\sw+_t" "bool" "complex" "imaginary" "FILE" "lconv" "tm" "va_list" "jmp_buf" "Lisp_Object"
"u8" "u16" "u32" "u64"
"s8" "s16" "s32" "s64"
"__le16" "__le32" "__le64"
"__be16" "__be32" "__be64"
"__s8" "__s16" "__s32" "__s64"
"__u8" "__u16" "__u32" "__u64")))
The machine is a low-end 10-inch netbook. Some details:

My lappy is less new but not really that slow -- compared to the hardware of the original reporter it's a speed demon -- but opening the file takes almost 4 s here. More importantly, scrolling through the file is painfully slow. The code in the file is nothing out of the ordinary; it consists of macros that are 1-3 lines each; definitely not a pathological case. The entire fontification takes 64 s for this file. I'd say the complaint is warranted, even if the original reporter is no longer reachable. Reopen?

I suggest to run this under "M-x profiler-start" and post the fully expanded profile you get from that. Bonus points for doing that after loading the CC Mode files as .el (not .elc), which will make the profile more detailed. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread

I've had a look at the file, and it's large and lacking in braces. There are functions in CC Mode which search backwards for opening braces to establish context. When there are none, the search goes back to BOB. Lots of these searches, not efficiently cached, take a long time. It's a problem with CC Mode, not with the source file.

It's a known > problem, and not easy to fix. Actually, it's the underscores! Demo: fill a file with the line pairs #define abc_defg_hij_klm__nop_qrst_uvw_xyz_w__ooa_cin_e__aoi__uynv(s) \ 0 repeated 1000 times, thus making it 2000 lines. Save as something.h. Slow! Now replace each underscore with a letter. Save. Fast! Fontifying the 2000 line file (with underscores) takes longer than the original 80000 line file. I started going through c-find-decl-spots and c-find-decl-prefix-search (together there are while statements nested 4 deep) but am not sure exactly where the trouble is. A regexp? Something syntax-char related (since '_' has symbol syntax, not word)? CC-mode in general thrashes the regexp cache; the miss rate is at 27 % for the original file, which is way too high. Enlarging the cache enough to eliminate misses helps, but not nearly enough. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread

Found it. Suggested fix attached. It can be improved: at least one pair of regexp group brackets can be removed, but I didn't dare doing so because I wasn't sure if it would throw some group numbers off by one. Alan, please, let's work together and remove unnecessary capture groups from the regexps! Even XEmacs regexps support non-capturing brackets, \(?:...\), and they save time, regexp stack space, and reduce the hassle of computing the 'regexp depth' everywhere.

Thanks for working on this ! Will this patch fix the problem with big header files like the one originally reported ? I tested this patch and the issue is still there. Also, such header files are very common.

Unfortunately it seems that my benchmarking approach was misleading; see my previous reply to Alan. Sorry about that. The patch helps a bit but not nearly enough, so for big header files like the ones you mention in the asic_reg directory, it may not make much of a difference. It is obviously worthwhile, but again as Alan noted, the incremental fontifying cost increases with distance from the start of the file (absent any actual code other than preprocessor definitions), leading to the observed superlinear behaviour. More robust heuristics needed. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread

Regexp Lock is a minor mode for highlighting regular expressions in Emacs Lisp mode. When activated, it has font-lock modify syntactic properties and appearance of regexp constituents as follows: - Ordinary brackets, parentheses, and semicolons are assigned the `symbol' syntax-table property. As a consequence, `forward-sexp' and `backward-sexp' within strings will skip parenthesized groups and alternatives in a more intuitive way. `blink-matching-open' and `show-paren-mode' will not falsely indicate mismatching parens. - Brackets delimiting character alternatives are highlighted with `font-lock-regexp-grouping-construct' face. Special parentheses and brackets that don't match are signaled with `font-lock-warning-face'. - Highlight the regular expression at point with `regexp-lock-regexp' face. Also overlay the backslashes used to escape subgroup delimiting parens with the associated group number. Group numbers are displayed with `regexp-lock-group' face. These overlays are installed whenever `point' is immediately before or after a string or subgroup delimiter of the regexp at point. The commands \\[regexp-lock-match-next] and \\[regexp-lock-match-prev] can be used to highlight the next respectively previous expression matching the regexp at point in another window. These commands use `eval' to evaluate the regexp at point. For the current match they highlight: - The entire match `(match-string 0)' with `regexp-lock-match' face. - Group numbers corresponding to subgroup matches are highlighted with `regexp-lock-match-group' face. In addition, the strings specified by `regexp-lock-match-before-group' and `regexp-lock-match-after-group' are used to separate group numbers. Matches before and after the current match are highlighted with `regexp-lock-match-other' face. If necessary, Regexp Lock splits the selected window in order to display matches. Initially, matches are shown for the buffer containing the regexp at point. Matches for any other buffer can be shown by switching to that buffer in the window displaying matches. Finally, Regexp Lock provides a function `regexp-lock-increment' which permits to in-/decrement arguments of `match-beginning' or `match-end' within the region. Caveats: - Regexp Lock uses a number of heuristics to detect regexps. Hence you will occasionally see ordinary strings highlighted as regexps as well as regexps highlighted as ordinary strings. In some cases customizing the variable `regexp-lock-regexp-string' might help. - Regexp Lock analyzes regular expressions literally. Hence if you write something like \(defvar foo \"\\\\(\") \(defvar bar (concat foo \"bar\\\\)\")) Regexp Lock is not able to indicate group numbers correctly and will additionally issue two warnings. - Regexp Lock expects that a regexp produced by `regexp-opt' is contained in a grouping construct iff the second argument of regexp-opt is present and does not equal one of the character sequences `nil' or `()'. - Regexp Lock does not recognize expressions constructed by `rx' or `sregex'. - Regexp Lock consumes processor resources.

Hey, wonderful! I haven't tried it yet, but I did try this: (i) Take the first 10% of the original 4MB file, and save it in a different file. (ii) Fontify that file from top to bottom: according to EPL, 292s (iii) Insert 9 new lines "{}" every 10% of that new file. (iv) Fontify the amended file top to bottom: new time 98s.

Thank you, quite remarkable and a very useful piece of information! Please let me curb some unwarranted optimism that I'm guilty of engendering: We have been measuring slightly different things.

Ah. ;-) Do you think the difference might be significantly more if I were systematically to expunge "\\("s from CC Mode? > What can be done for big files that mainly consist of preprocessor > definitions? Add in yet another cache (or fix the existing cache which is buggy) for whatever it is that's searching backwards for braces. The cache would look something like (P . St) meaning P is the position of the highest brace before St. P nil would mean there was no opening brace at all before St. So any backward search for a { starting between P and St could just return P, any search starting after St. would only need to search back to St, and so on. It's rather messy and easy not to get right first time, but it could make a tremendous difference to these crazy include files. I put in a cache like that for macros after somebody complained about the sluggishness in his file (which was basically a single 4,000 line macro). -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread

No, probably not. It's just obvious low-hanging fruit; every little helps some. Doing so also makes the regexps a little less mystifying for the reader since the only capture groups left are those actually used. Finally, it removes or at least raises some hard limits that we had in the past (from regexp stack overflow). > Add in yet another cache (or fix the existing cache which is buggy) for > whatever it is that's searching backwards for braces. Are the bugs in the existing cache preventing it from making the cases under discussion faster? A naïve question: the files we are talking about are dominated by (mostly single-line) preprocessor directives whose fontification should be invariant of context (as long as they are not inside comments or strings, but that's not hard to find out). Why do we then spend time looking for context at all? From profiling, it seems that about 30 % of the time is spent in c-determine-limit, called from c-fl-decl-start, c-font-lock-enclosing-decls and c-font-lock-cut-off-declarators (about 10 % each). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread

I spent yesterday evening investigating the "CC Mode state cache", i.e. the thing that keeps track of braces and open parens/brackets. I found a place where it was unnecessarily causing scanning from BOB, and fixed it provisionally. On doing a (time-scroll) on the entire monster buffer, it saved ~25% of the run time.

Yes. c-determine-limit scans backwards over a buffer to find a position that is around N non-string non-comment characters before point. I put some instrumentation on it yesterday evening, and it is apparent that it is getting called four times in succession from the same point with N = 500, 1000, 1000, 1000. This screams out for a simple cache, which I intend to implement. Also, maybe I should always call c-determine-limit with the same N, and perhaps even cut N to 500 in all cases. Or something like that. It is clear that a great deal of run time could be saved, here. Also, I intend to track down whatever the other thing is that is scanning from the previous brace or BOB.

Please bear with my lack of understanding of how this works, but what I meant is that a preprocessor line neither affects nor is affected by the context, so until something other than such lines (and comments) are found in the region being fontified, there should be no need to determine the context in the first place. > I put some instrumentation on it yesterday evening, and it is apparent > that it is getting called four times in succession from the same point > with N = 500, 1000, 1000, 1000.

There was a "harmless" c-backward-syntactic-ws invocation in c-determine-limit. This macro moves back over syntactic whitespace, which includes macros. So this was going back all the way to BOB, from which we scanned forward again. In the enclosed patch (which includes my previous amendment) I've removed this. There are many other places which invoke c-backward-syntactic-ws without giving the limit argument, and these slow down CC Mode too, though not as dramatically as the removed one. I have given limits arguments to two of these in c-font-complex-decl-prepare, which reduce the (time-scroll) time for the last 10% of the entire monster file from ~77s to ~44s. I intend to instrument c-backward-sws to determine which of the other invocations of c-backward-syntactic-ws are most time consuming. There are around 90 such calls in CC Mode. :-( It now takes me just under 6 minutes to (time-scroll) through the entire buffer, compared with a previous hour.

That's nice, thank you! It seems to be about 19 % faster than the previous patch on this particular file, which is not bad at all. Somehow, the delay when inserting a newline (pressing return) at line 83610 of osprey_reg_map_macro.h becomes longer with the patch. Of course this is more than compensated by the speed-up in general, but it may be worth taking a look at. There is also a new and noticeable delay (0.5-1 s) in the very beginning when scrolling through the file. (This is with the frame sized to show 41 lines of 80 chars of a window, excluding mode line and echo area.) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread

(Trying the monster file.h in C++ Mode is now something worth trying). Just as a matter of interest, I've done a fair bit of testing with a larger monster file (~14 MB) in the Linux kernel, at linux/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include/asic_reg/nbio/nbio_6_1_sh_mask.h . That's 133,000 lines, give or take. Even our largest file, src/xdisp.c is only 36,000 lines. I don't understand how a file describing hardware can come to anything like 133k lines. It must be soul destroying to have to write a driver based on a file like this. That file was put together by AMD, and I suspect they didn't take all that much care to make it usable. > Somehow, the delay when inserting a newline (pressing return) at line > 83610 of osprey_reg_map_macro.h becomes longer with the patch. I think I've fixed this. Thanks for prompting me. > Of course this is more than compensated by the speed-up in general, > but it may be worth taking a look at. There's one thing which still puzzles me. In osprey_reg....h, when scrolling through it (e.g. with (time-scroll)), it stutters markedly at around 13% of the way through. I've managed to localize this, it's happening in the macro c-find-decl-prefix-search (invoked only from c-find-decl-spots), and has something to do with the call to re-search-forward there, but I've not manage to pin down exactly what the cause is. > There is also a new and noticeable delay (0.5-1 s) in the very > beginning when scrolling through the file. (This is with the frame > sized to show 41 lines of 80 chars of a window, excluding mode line > and echo area.) This seems still to be there. I'll admit, I haven't really looked at this yet. Anyhow, please try out the (?)final version of my patch before I commit it and close the bug. It should apply cleanly to the master branch. I might well split it into three changes, two small, one large, since there are, in a sense three distinct fixes there.

Those files are likely not hand-written but generated from a hardware description language where device registers are declared in more comfortable ways, and often are part of or at least have tie-ins to VLSI synthesis tools. Nevertheless, there are quite big files that are crafted by hand, and in any case users need to look at them sooner or later in an editor anyway (hence the bug report), so the speed-up job here is essential and benefits everyone. > There's one thing which still puzzles me.

I tested this patch, along with Mattias' patch posted earlier, on two machines. On a reasonably fast machine (AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with 16 GB RAM), there is a marked improvement in visiting and scrolling the header files in the linux kernel tree. The complete lockups that happened earlier did not happen. I also tested the patches on a Chromebook (Intel Celeron N2840 with 4GB RAM), which is similar to the machine in the original report.

Outch! That's a 50,000 line long function. ;-( I've lost some naivety about "reasonableness" in the past week or two. > Just copying that function to a smaller C file is enough to > reproduce the issue. (I found that C-M-h is a nifty command to do this.) > I can open a new bug report if required. Would you do this, please. The mechanism for the slowdown in that function is entirely different from that in the .h files with lots of macros. In the .c file, there are lots and lots of braces, and it seems we need a new cache to handle them faster. In the .h files, there are no braces, and we needed to put limits into backward searches.

Thank you indeed for taking the trouble to test the patch on the lesser machine. I do not have access to such a machine. I am assuming that before this patch, such a large file like osprey_reg....h would have been completely unworkable on the machine. It sounds as though it still is. However, have you noticed any improvement at all in performance? Could I ask you please to do one more thing, and that is to take a profile on this machine where it is giving trouble. From a freshly loaded buffer, move forward (if necessary) to a troublesome spot. N.B. C-u 1 M-> moves to 10% away from the end of the buffer, C-u 2 M-> 20%, and so on. Then start the profiler and do what is causing sluggish performance. Then have a look at the final profiler output, and expand it sensibly so that the troublesome function can be found. (Optional paragraph.) How to use the profiler: Do M-x profiler-start RET, and accept the default mode with another RET. Perform the stuff to be profiled. Do M-x profiler-report, which gives three or four lines of output, each with a number and a percentage. Move point to a line with a large percentage and type RET to expand it. You can repeat this to expand further. Please expand the lines down to where the percentages remaining are around 5% or 6%. There will be quite a lot of lines near the start showing the same large percentage. Then could you please post that output here, so as to give me some idea of where the poor performance is coming from.

I don't think that's in the Elisp manual. Also useful would be a command to expand "everything which is sufficiently big" for some value of "sufficiently big", to avoid swathes of irrelevancies down at 1% or 0%. I once tried to amend the profiler to move its statistics columns further to the right, because I was seeing far too many truncated function names. But I gave up, because the code was masses and masses of tiny functions, largely without doc strings or comments, and I just couldn't make sense of it. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread

Here is the profile report (with emacs -Q): > https://gist.github.com/ravine-var/0c293968a902cde76af77f2872dde1d7 Thanks. That was very helpful. I've still got to analyse it more deeply, but one thing that stood out (to me, at least), was c-forward-name taking up 13% of the run time in your profile. If we include the garbage collection this will have caused, it might be as high as 20% of the time, and that's right at the beginnning of your buffer. To fix this, can I ask you, please, to try adding the following patch to your already patched software, and let me know if it helps at all. If it does, that's great, if not, could I ask you to do another profile for me on the less powerful machine, say by opening the buffer, starting the profiler, then moving to the middle of the buffer with C-u 5 M->. This may take some time to profile. Thanks! > I am using emacs master (along with your patch) built with LTO enabled > and CFLAGS set to '-O2 -march=native'. That's the ideal testing setup.

I've had a good look at your latest profile result. There doesn't seem to be any further untoward looping of low-level functions. So I'm not sure what more to fix, other than.... Have you got the option fast-but-imprecise-scrolling set (or customized) to non-nil? If not, could I suggest you try it. It's effect is to stop Emacs fontifying every screen it scrolls over, instead only fontifying screens when it's got no more input commands waiting. This speeds things up quite a bit on a slower machine. > I tested with 3 patches applied from messages 35, 95 and 128. > Here's the profile with emacs -Q : > https://gist.github.com/ravine-var/48b3e1469ac5a7f3c3df8d6d9313661a Thanks! There appear to be about 8 seconds worth of profile data there. How many screenfulls, approximately, did you actually scroll over in that time? Or, rather than answering that question, could I get you to try another timing test? Please put the following code into your *scratch* buffer (it's the same code I've posted before) and evaluate it: (defmacro time-it (&rest forms) "Time the running of a sequence of forms using `float-time'. Call like this: \"M-: (time-it (foo ...) (bar ...) ...)\"." `(let ((start (float-time))) ,@forms (- (float-time) start))) Then please load osprey_reg_map_macro.h freshly into a buffer, and type (or cut and paste) the following into M-: (time-it (let ((n 10)) (while (> n 0) (scroll-up) (sit-for 0) (setq n (1- n))))) What is the reported timing for scrolling these ten screens?

If A and B match single characters, then A\|B should be written [AB] whenever possible. The reason is that A\|B adds a backtrack record which uses stack space and wastes time if matching fails later on. The cost can be quite noticeable, which we have seen. 2. Syntax-class constructs are usually better written as character alternatives when possible. The \sX construct, for some X, is typically somewhat slower to match than explicitly listing the characters to match. For example, if all you care about are space and tab, then "\\s *" should be written "[ \t]*". 3. Unicode character classes are slower to match than ASCII-only ones. For example, [[:alpha:]] is slower than [A-Za-z], assuming only those characters are of interest. 4. [^...] will match \n unless included in the set. For example, "[^a]\\|$" will almost never match the $ (end-of-line) branch, because a newline will be matched by the first branch. The only exception is at the very end of the buffer if it is not newline-terminated, but that is rarely worth considering for source code. 5. \r (carriage return) normally doesn't appear in buffers even if the file uses DOS line endings. Line endings are converted into a single \n (newline) when the buffer is read. In particular, $ does NOT match at \r, only before \n. When \r appears it is usually because the file contains a mixture of line-ending styles, typically from being edited using broken tools. Whether you want to take such files into account is a matter of judgement; most modes don't bother. 6. Capturing groups costs more than non-capturing groups, but you already know that. On to specifics: here are annotations for possible improvements in cc-langs.el. (I didn't bother about capturing groups here.)

(I didn't bother about capturing groups here.) I think we should get around to fixing the regexps in CC Mode soon. But I think I would rather do this as a separate exercise, since the patch for this bug is already around 800 lines and Ravine Var, the OP, has found further problems on a slowish machine. In particular, some of the fixes in your patch relate to the CPP constructs, and they might well be slowing down that regexp in c-find-decl-spots I highlighted earlier. So I'm keen to look at this again, once the current bug is settled. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 45+ messages in thread
