fix-test-reporting.📄 61% (0.61x) speedup for
find_codeflash_output_assignmentsincodeflash/code_utils/edit_generated_tests.py⏱️ Runtime :
74.3 milliseconds→46.1 milliseconds(best of55runs)📝 Explanation and details
Here’s how you can optimize your program for runtime.
Analysis
visitor.visit(tree)(82.9%). This suggests that.CfoVisitor's implementation (not included) should be optimized, but since its code isn’t given here, we'll focus on the lines given.ast.parse(source_code)is the next biggest cost (16.8%), but must happen.Direct External Optimizations
There are limited options without refactoring CfoVisitor. But we can.
CfoVisitoris already minimal.])__slots__inCfoVisitorif you control its code (not given).Safe Minimal Acceleration (with your visible code)
To improve Python's AST speed for repeated jobs you can use the builtin compile cache. Python 3.9+ [via
ast.parsedoes not by itself cache, but compile() can]. However, sinceast.parseconstructs an AST, and we useCfoVisitor(unknown) we can't avoid it.1. Use
ast.NodeVisitor().visitDirectlyThis is as direct as your code, but no faster.
2. Use "fast mode" for ast if available ([no such param in stdlib])
3. Use LRU Cache for repeated source (if same string is used multiple times)
If your function may receive duplicates, memoize the result.
source_codeappears repeatedly.4. If CfoVisitor doesn't use the
source_codestring itself.But it appears your visitor uses both the AST and source code string.
5. Further Acceleration: Avoid class usage for simple visitors
If you have access to the
CfoVisitorcode, and it's a simple AST visitor, you could rewrite it as a generator function. This change is NOT possible unless we know what that visitor does.Summing up:
Since the main cost is inside
CfoVisitor.visit, and you cannot change CfoVisitor, the only safe optimization at this level is to memoize the parse step if repeat calls for identical inputs arise.Final Code: Faster for repeated inputs
This form will be notably faster only if
source_codeis not unique every time.Otherwise.
CfoVisitor. You would need to optimize that class and its visit logic for further speed gains.If you provide the CfoVisitor code, I can directly optimize the expensive function.
