@Haypo, thanks for your PR! By analyzing the history of the files in this pull request, we identified @benjaminp, @loewis and @serhiy-storchaka to be potential reviewers. |
This change means that TextIOWrapper becomes inconsistent if the file descriptor is moved direcly using os.lseek()... but BufferedReader/BufferedWriter don't detect neither when the file descriptor is moved directly, no? I mean, abs_pos cached attribute already has the bug, no? |

@pitrou: Would you mind to review this one? Does it look like an acceptable optimization? |

@serhiy-storchaka: Same questions. Would you mind to review this one? Does it look like an acceptable optimization? |

@Haypo: this looks like an acceptable optimization, but the question is whether it brings any significant speedup. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
we only go into this path if self->seekable is set.

we only go into this path if self->encoder is set. self->encoder is only set if the buffer is writable.

@pitrou: I replied to your comments. So, what do you think? Is my PR safe? |

As I said above : this looks like an acceptable optimization, but the question is whether it brings any significant speedup :-) Of course I'm not against making optimizations in buffered I/O. I also know that buffering can be tricky (being responsible for the data corruption issue in Python 3.2 made me cautious about this!). But if this can increase performance significantly then ok (and you'll bear the responsability of any regression ;-)). |
The TextIOWrapper constructor now gets directly the private abs_pos attribute of BufferedWriter and BufferedRandom instead of calling the tell() method to avoid one lseek() syscall on open(fname, "w") and open(fname, "w+"). Move the buffered structure to _iomodule.h and rename it to _PyIO_buffered. Add also "pythread.h" to _iomodule.h, needed by _PyIO_buffered lock.

It's hard to see any significant speedup, so I abandon my change. The risk is not worth it. |
