revert-helper-function-is-unused.📄 14% (0.14x) speedup for
detect_unused_helper_functionsincodeflash/context/unused_definition_remover.py⏱️ Runtime :
10.7 milliseconds→9.40 milliseconds(best of5runs)📝 Explanation and details
We can substantially optimize your code by focusing on two main things.
_analyze_imports_in_optimized_code, where a major bottleneck isfor node in ast.walk(optimized_ast):).Here are concrete optimizations, each one annotated according to the code profiling above.
ast.walkover the entire tree for imports with one pass that finds only relevant nodes, instead of checking every node (use a generator or a helper). This reduces unnecessary type-checks.detect_unused_helper_functions, early-build lookup dictionaries forhelper_functionnames. Avoid reconstructing set/dict for every helper in the final filter..jedi_definition.typeand other property/method calls into loop variables if they are used multiple times.Here is your revised, much faster code.
Key changes explained:
ast.walkwithast.iter_child_nodesand filtered imports in_analyze_imports_in_optimized_codefor much fewer iterations.class_name, etc.).This refactor should substantially reduce the runtime, especially for codebases with large ASTs and many helpers. If you need even more performance or want to batch analyze many functions, consider further parallelization or C/Cython AST walkers.
