Use nullIterable instead of new Set in RuleSets.ruleCache #12577

cschanaj · 2017-09-15T13:41:55Z

@cowlicks this replaces and closes #12494. thanks!

P.S. eslint error is unexpected, but it should be fine to fix it here.

chromium/rules.js

+const nullIterable = Object.create(null, {
+  [Symbol.iterator]: {
+    value: function* () {
+      // do nothing


This can be done in a simpler way.

const nullIterator = { next() { return { done: true }; } }; const nullIterable = { [Symbol.iterator]: function () { return nullIterator; } };

Will also save memory since it will not create a new iterator each time.

Having just one name is nice. How about just:

const nullIterable = Object.create(null, { [Symbol.iterator]: { value: () => ({ next() { return {done: true}; } }) } });

@cowlicks const nullIterable = (function* () {})() would be better.

@cowlicks why use Object.create(null, { ...?

@cowlicks This will create a new instance of { next() { return { done: true } } } each time.

Currently I have this code:

const nullIterator = { next() { return { done: true }; } }; const nullIterable = { size: 0, [Symbol.iterator]: function () { return nullIterator; } };

@koops76 see #12577 (comment)

re: new instance of ... thing - that is fine, it should get GC'd immediately anyway

chromium/rules.js

+};
+
+const nullIterable = {
+  [Symbol.iterator]: function *() {


Simply change it into () => nullIterator I guess.

without * it does not work for me (it is a generator function).

See also https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Iterators_and_Generators

@cschanaj See #12577 (comment).

Remove the * after fixing this issue.

Remove the * now.

chromium/rules.js


+// Empty iterable singleton to reduce memory usage (#12494).
+const nullIterator = {
+  next : () => { done: true }


next: () => ({ done: true })

or next() { return { done: true } }

ghost · 2017-09-15T15:26:54Z

(function* () {})() is the shortest code for empty Iterable. Use it.

ghost · 2017-09-15T18:47:23Z

chromium/rules.js

+  next : () => ({ done: true })
+};
+
+const nullIterable = {


Simply replace this entire code with const nullIterable = (function* () {})(). Calling a generator function will return a Generator instance which implements both Iterator and Iterable.

I choose to create Object.creat(null, ... because the created object wouldn't have extra properties, so it would be harder to misuse. This seemed important because we are using it alongside real data.

Also, using Object.create(... lets us specify other properties we might want, like size in this case.

Would simply doing { size: 0 } cause a conflict?

Ah, it makes it read only.

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T20:59:20Z

chromium/rules.js

-      log(DBUG, "Ruleset cache hit for " + host + " items:" + cached_item.length);
+    if (this.ruleCache.has(host)) {
+      let cached_item = this.ruleCache.get(host);
+      let len = cached_item && cached_item != nullIterable ? cached_item.size : 0;


just add a size property to the nullIterable thing.

ghost · 2017-09-15T21:28:45Z

@cowlicks Look at this code:

const nullIterator = Object.create(null, {
  next: { value: function() { return { done: true }; } }
});

const nullIterable = Object.create(null, {
  [Symbol.iterator]: { value: function() { return nullIterator; } }
});

Is it okay to use in your opinion?

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T21:55:12Z

chromium/rules.js

      // Copy the host targets so we don't modify them.
-      results = results.concat(this.targets.get(host));
+      let results = this.targets.get(host);
+      results.map(result => resultSet.add(result));


I'm a little confused by having both results and resultsSet variables. You can just do:

if (this.targets.has(host)) { results = new Set([...results, this.targets.get(host)]); }

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T21:55:49Z

chromium/rules.js

-    if (host.indexOf("..") != -1 || host.length > 255) {
-      log(WARN,"Malformed host passed to potentiallyApplicableRulesets: " + host);
-      return null;
+    if (host.length > 255 || host.indexOf("..") != -1) {


This makes sense 👍

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T21:58:38Z

chromium/rules.js

    }

    // Replace each portion of the domain with a * in turn
-    var segmented = host.split(".");


Please avoid renaming and changing this code unless its necessary to the PR. This algorithm is important, but isn't well tested unfortunately.

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T22:14:41Z

chromium/rules.js

-    for (let i=0; i < segmented.length; i++) {
-      let tmp = segmented[i];
-      segmented[i] = "*";
-      results = results.concat(this.targets.get(segmented.join(".")));


This could be something like my above comment, (https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/pull/12577/files#r139258106) or maybe a ternary expression like

results = (this.targets.has(segmented.join('.')) ? (new Set([...results, ...this.targets.get(segmented.join('.')]) : results);

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T22:17:19Z

chromium/rules.js

    // check *.z.google.com and *.google.com (we did *.y.z.google.com above)
-    for (var i = 2; i <= segmented.length - 2; ++i) {
-      var t = "*." + segmented.slice(i,segmented.length).join(".");
-      results = results.concat(this.targets.get(t));


Please revert this rename. Then just use one of the methods I suggested above to update the results

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T22:18:48Z

chromium/rules.js


-    // Clean the results list, which may contain duplicates or undefined entries
-    var resultSet = new Set(results);
-    resultSet.delete(undefined);


Keep a results.delete(undefined) around to be safe.

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T22:36:52Z

@koops76 re: #12577 (comment)

It depends on the context. I'd prefer to avoid using 2 names here. I don't think it creating an iterator when iterated matters. It should be garbage collected immediately, and js engines are pretty good at optimizing simple functions like this.

@cschanaj with the size property it would look like:

const nullIterable = Object.create(null, {
  [Symbol.iterator]: {
    value: () => ({
      next() {
        return {done: true};
      }
    })
  },
  size: {value: 0},
});

cowlicks · 2017-09-15T23:00:45Z

@cschanaj in the future, please try to keep revisions to PR's as the same PR. This makes reviewing easier for me. It is hard to track what changed and what didn't between two similar PR's so I end up re-reading a lot of code. (I'm referring to this and #12494).

There is no need to worry about force pushes or anything.

cschanaj · 2017-09-16T02:24:27Z

@cowlicks modified accordingly, please check. thanks!!

cschanaj · 2017-09-16T05:41:20Z

@cowlicks Sorry for force pushing a few times. This PR is ready for review and merging now. thanks!

cschanaj · 2017-09-18T23:05:24Z

@cowlicks @Hainish I did not realize that you are modifying rules.js as well. I will rebase this branch in the weekend...

P.S. I have made a mistake in rebasing this. Please do not merge the current branch.

cowlicks · 2017-09-19T19:38:01Z

@cschanaj I can rebase this if you'd like.

cschanaj · 2017-09-20T12:16:19Z

cschanaj · 2017-09-20T23:09:44Z

@cowlicks please merge this if it looks good for you. thank you!!

+    } else {
+      util.log(DBUG, "Ruleset cache miss for " + host);
    }
-    util.log(util.DBUG, "Ruleset cache miss for " + host);


There are some issues with how this was merged, this line should have been kept (it should be util.DBUG).

cschanaj · 2017-09-23T06:06:07Z

@cowlicks Travis all passing now, please merge this if it looks good. (It has been sort of annoying to rebase a few time and keeping up with the incompatible changes).

cschanaj · 2017-09-28T22:10:48Z

@cowlicks could you please merge this before the next release?

cowlicks · 2017-10-03T21:29:52Z

@cschanaj sorry we won't have time! It will be in the next release. Totally my fault, I forgot to check back on this after you rebased :(

Thank you for your work!

cschanaj · 2017-10-06T23:54:42Z

@cowlicks Never mind. Please be sure to merge this PR before the next release. 😄

cowlicks · 2017-10-17T23:27:34Z
