Feature #15631

Updated by ahorek (Pavel Rosický) about 5 years ago

right now round_capa value is rounded up to the next power of 2 
 ``` 
 round_capa(4) -> returns 8 
 round_capa(8) -> returns 16 
 round_capa(16) -> returns 32 

 round_capa(5) -> returns 8 
 round_capa(9) -> returns 16 
 round_capa(17) -> returns 32 
 etc. 
 ``` 

 it seems wasteful to allocate the extra items capacity, so this PR changes that to 
 ``` 
 round_capa(4) -> returns 4 
 round_capa(8) -> returns 8 
 round_capa(16) -> returns 16 

 round_capa(5) -> returns 8 
 round_capa(9) -> returns 16 
 round_capa(17) -> returns 32 
 etc. 
 ``` 

 the main purpose is to reduce memory usage especially during boot 

 my patch also uses BUILTIN_CLZ macro instead of hash shifts that makes it slightly faster 

 here's a benchmark 
 ```ruby 
 require 'benchmark/ips' 

 Benchmark.ips do |x| 
   x.config(time: 20, warmup: 3) 

   x.report('struct', "Struct.new(*('a'..'z').map { |x| x.to_sym })") 
 end 
 ``` 

 ```
