The ugly hack below shaves 20% from the switch-case type iface struct { tab *unsafe.Pointer data *unsafe.Pointer }
func getInterfaceData(arg interface{}) unsafe.Pointer { return unsafe.Pointer((((*iface)(unsafe.Pointer(&arg))).data)) } // Cast the integer argument to uint64 and call a "writer" // The "writer" knows how many bytes to add to the binary stream // // Type casts from interface{} to integer consume 40% of the overall // time. Can I do better? What is interface{} in Golang? // Switching to args *[]interface makes the performance 2x worse // Before you jump to conlusions see // https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/Og8s9Y-Kif4 func (b *Binlog) writeArgumentToOutput(writer writer, arg interface{}) error { // unsafe pointer to the data depends on the data type var err error err = writer.write(b.ioWriter, getInterfaceData(arg)) return err } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
