I declare it dead * Removes static symbol `id_set_encoding` from `io.c` * Introduces a literal fstring `str_no_transcoding` to represent the no transcoding option `"-"` Now ... I don't think I like the API naming convention of `rb_io_set_encoding_internal` very much for the following reason: with `internal` it means not public API (but then again declaring it in `ruby/io.h` implies that too, but can also be interpreted as `internal encoding`, which can be confusing. Open to ideas about the API and also the special `Qfalse` argument which assigns the no transcoding special case. Master booting Redmine with Rails 6: ``` [RUBY_DEBUG_COUNTER] obj_newobj 2095742 [RUBY_DEBUG_COUNTER] frame_push_cfunc 2217390 ``` This PR: ``` [RUBY_DEBUG_COUNTER] obj_newobj 2093369 [RUBY_DEBUG_COUNTER] frame_push_cfunc 2212686 ``` Diffs: * `4704` less C function calls (my understanding is `rb_call` and friends would bump `frame_push_cfunc`) * `2373` less transient objects allocated (about half of the dispatch calls also allocated a "-" string) Which is about inline with the loaded features for booting the process: ``` irb(main):002:0> $LOADED_FEATURES.size => 2165 ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
