From e91d4c07588a7431ee14b53a599f8f04e9e8b3f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Sitnikov Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 10:15:39 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Don't allocate a VisitorState when a memoized lookup hits the cache VisitorState.Cache.get replaced the caller's state with a pathless copy before it looked in the cache, so every read of a memoized value allocated a VisitorState, including the reads the cache answered on its own. Only impl.get needs that copy, so compute now makes it. Compiling the 948 sources of error_prone_core with Error Prone enabled, the compiling thread allocates 7.74 GiB instead of 8.25 GiB. Cache.get runs 25448504 times over that compilation and answers 17019874 of those from the cache, which at 32 bytes per VisitorState accounts for the whole difference.
