Description

At least, Array#flatten will be faster around 20%.
Seems that strncmp() & strcmp() in convert_type() are slightly heavy to look up the method's id for type conversion.
(https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/4f2db15b42d7b8eb5b304a92ba2296632dba3edf/object.c#L2634-L2643)

This patch will use known method's id directly.

Before

                                             user     system      total        real
Array#flatten (rb_check_convert_type2)   1.000000   0.000000   1.000000 (  1.001917)
Array#+ (rb_convert_type2)               1.010000   0.000000   1.010000 (  1.006383)

After

                                             user     system      total        real
Array#flatten (rb_check_convert_type2)   0.830000   0.000000   0.830000 (  0.833411)
Array#+ (rb_convert_type2)               0.950000   0.000000   0.950000 (  0.953832)

Test Code

require 'benchmark'

Benchmark.bmbm do |x|

  ary = []
  100.times { |i| ary << i }
  array = [ary]

  x.report "Array#flatten (rb_check_convert_type2)"do
    100000.times do
      array.flatten
    end
  end

  x.report "Array#+ (rb_convert_type2)"do
    class Foo
      def to_ary
        [1,2,3]
      end
    end
    obj = Foo.new

    2000000.times do
      array + obj
    end
  end

end
