Eliminate extending WaitReadable/Writable at runtime

Added by headius (Charles Nutter) over 12 years ago. Updated over 11 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
[ruby-core:43325]

Description

The nonblocking IO operations started extending WaitReadable or WaitWritable into the Errno::EAGAIN instance some time during the 1.9 series. This has a rather high cost, since a singleton class must be created and the global method cache must be flushed.

The attached patch instead creates two new classes of the following form, and raises them rather than raising a singleton EAGAIN:

class IO::EAGAINReadable < Errno::EAGAIN
include WaitReadable
end

class IO::EAGAINWritable < Errno::EAGAIN
include WaitWritable
end

The performance of repeatedly doing unsuccessful nonblocking reads improves by about 20%:

BEFORE:

system ~/projects/ruby $ ./ruby2.0.0 -rbenchmark -rsocket -e "sock = TCPSocket.new('localhost', 22); 10.times { puts Benchmark.measure { 100_000.times { begin; sock.read_nonblock(10); rescue IO::WaitReadable; end } } }"

1.000000 0.110000 1.110000 ( 1.112519)

This benchmark does not show the hidden cost of constantly invalidating the global method cache.

I also modified a similar case in OpenSSL, where it previously created an SSLError and extended WaitReadable into it.
