  Rather than traversing the all_files linked list for every include,
this factors out the quick idempotency checks (modification time
and size) to be the keys in a hash table so we can find matching
files quickly.

The hash table value type is a linked list, in case more than one
file matches the quick check.

The table is only built if a once-only file is seen, so include
guard performance is not affected.

My laptop would previously complete Ricardo's benchmark from the
PR in ~1.1s using #pragma once, and ~0.35s using include guards.

After this change, both benchmarks now complete in ~0.35s. I did
have to randomize the modification dates on the benchmark headers
so the files did not all end up in the same hash table list, but
that would likely not come up outside of the contrived benchmark.

I bootstrapped and ran the testsuite on x86_64 Darwin, as well as
ppc64le and aarch64 Linux.

libcpp/ChangeLog:

	PR preprocessor/58770
	* internal.h: Add hash table for #pragma once
	* files.cc: Optimize #pragma once with the hash table

Hi Paul. Sorry for not getting back to you before.  I'm listed as a
libcpp maintainer, but this happens to be a part of libcpp I've not
looked at (I'm mostly just familiar with location_t management). 

FWIW, the patch seems sane to me, though I have one concern: does it
work with precompiled headers?  (given that PCH is implemented by
taking a snapshot of the gc heap and reconstructing it on load, it thus
tends to be an annoying source of bugs when trying the kind of cleanup
this patch is doing).

Sorry to not look be able to look at things in more detail (I'm
travelling)

Hope this is constructive
Dave

I'm probably confused, but why is the existing idempotency logic 
insufficiently optimal?  Can it be improved directly?

WRT using modification time as a key.  I don't see how that provides 
sufficient additional randomization to file size?  Groups of headers are 
often installed with the same mtime.

The idempotency logic breaks down to a couple integer comparisons, I doubt
it can be made much faster. Usually a file will be skipped after the very
first idempotency check. The reason it's suboptimal right now is that it's
O(n^2) behavior -- for each include that's seen we follow the entire linked
list and do those integeger comparisons.

The cost of hashing, performing a lookup against the hash table, and then
traversing the list of results (any hash collisions) is much lower than
traversing the full list of includes. I suspect that has something to do
with cache locality, or lack thereof, when accessing each member of the
linked list. It's likely also just far fewer instructions executed.

This is a fair point, and I was going to say something here about the
codebases being compiled, but git also doesn't preserve mtime.

The real reason mtime is because that's what was done in the previous
implementation, and I felt it best not to mess with.

But, if there are better attributes that could be used without adding
much overhead we could use those instead. I was personally worried that
reading the file to perform any sort of hash would be expensive.

In any case, thank you very much for the feedback!

Hi Dave, thanks for taking a look! I figured that, since the original
implementation didn't do anything with PCH, I wouldn't have to either.
But I'll dig into how PCH is implemented and run some tests to make
absolutely sure.

All the best,
Paul

Traversing a list is O(N) -- why are you encountering N^2 here?  (Are 
you summing over all includes?)

I don't see why a hash table cannot be applied to all idempotent files, 
not just #import/pragma once.

doing anything other than compare the pathname is going to mean going to 
disk.  That's likely cached by the OS from the first read.  I suppose 
one could encounter horrible LRU behaviour, but you're probably going to 
lose in that case anyway.  Hm, why not just key on the inode/drive 
number? that way one even avoids the inode read (oh, I think stat isn't 
that fine grained is it)

I suppose one could have two hashtables -- one keyed by pathname, which 
one could check before the inode, which would deal with the majority of 
non-symlink-farm cases.  Then one keyed by inode/m_time or whatever to 
deal with symlinks.
