16. Compiled vs Script • Compiled

19. Compiled vs Script • Compiled • Compile times :-( • let arr = String(1) + String(2) + String(3) + String(4) Expression is too complex to be solved in reasonable time
20. Compiled vs Script • Compiled • Compile times :-( • let arr = String(1) + String(2) + String(3) + String(4) • let arr:[Int] = [1] + [2] + [3] + [4] + [5] + [6] Expression is too complex to be solved in reasonable time

26. Compilation Swift Intermediate Language better Swift
27. Basic optimizations
28. Basic optimizations • to eliminate additional checks use: &+, &- • bitcast values if it doesn’t need a validation • UInt32(truncatingBitPattern: Int) add or substract
29. Basic optimizations • modify in place • no copy on modify • pass-by-value-and-copy-back • The compiler may optimize an inout variable to pass-by- reference, rather than copying in and out. • core(block: &array) func core(block: inout Array<UInt8>) https://twitter.com/chriseidhof/status/815839860913270784
30. Basic optimizations • struct over class • final class • private class obvious
31. Basic optimizations • Int, Int32, Int64 is optimized non-obvious
32. Basic optimizations • Int, Int32, Int64 is optimized • UInt, UInt32, UInt64 is not non-obvious
33. Basic optimizations • Int, Int32, Int64 is optimized • UInt, UInt32, UInt64 is not • Improve > 2x by using Int non-obvious The innocent loop: var count: UInt64 = 0 for index in 0 ..< loopLimit { count += UInt64(localArray[Int(index)]) } takes 2.4 times as long if preceded by: let loopLimit = UInt64(nbrBytes) compared to: let loopLimit = Int(nbrBytes)
34. Basic optimizations • for-loop over map • for-loop over reduce iterations extension Dictionary { /// An immutable version of update. Returns a new dictionary containing /// self’s values and the key/value passed in. func withUpdate(key: Key, value: Value) -> Dictionary<Key, Value> { var result = self result[key] = value return result } } let dict1 = ["joe": 3, "mary": 4] let dict2 = dict1.reduce([:]) { dict2, element in dict2.withUpdate(element.0, value: element.1 * 5) } var dict2 = [Key:Value](minCapacity: dict1.count) for (k,v) in dict1 { let (k1,v1) = transform(k,v) dict2[k1] = v1 }
35. Less Swift in Swift • map is eager • lazy map is much better • lazy is default now • Array<UInt8> turns out to be nearly 10% slower compared to: UnsafeMutablePointer<UInt8>.allocate(capacity:) - var returnArray:[UInt8] = array.map({ _ in return 0 }) + var returnArray:[UInt8] = [UInt8](count: array.count, repeatedValue: 0)
36. Inline
37. @inline(__always) • Automatic inlining (AI ) • Inline all the things with @inline(__always) • @inlinable is the future (@_inlineable) • transparent functions are implicitly marked @_inlineable • Force inlining with @_transparent • be careful with ABI
38. Allocation
39. Allocations • Stack is cheap • Heap is expensive • Pre-allocation is cheap • Swift never implicitly puts parts of large structs on the heap.

The result of the instruction is the reference-counted @box reference that owns the box. The project_box instruction is used to retrieve the address of the value inside the box. 1 func arrayAlloc() { 2 var arr = [Int](repeating: 0, count: 1) 3 DispatchQueue(label: "queue").async { 4 arr.append(1) 5 } 6 arr.append(-1) 7 }

68. And Now For Something Completely Different Array vs ArraySlice
69. Array vs. ArraySlice • Array (value) • data structure • contains a group of elements • all of the same data type • each element identified by index • position of each element can be computed from its index • Array is convenient to use • Array is optimized (COW)
70. Array vs. ArraySlice • ArraySlice is not an Array • Array is not an ArraySlice • ArraySlice is a slice of array • a view of the Array values • defined by range • ArraySlice = Array[startIndex…endIndex]
71. Array vs. ArraySlice
72. Array vs. ArraySlice The ArraySlice type makes it fast and efficient for you to perform operations on sections of a larger array. Instead of copying over the elements of a slice to new storage, an ArraySlice instance presents a view onto the storage of a larger array. And because ArraySlice presents the same interface as Array, you can generally perform the same operations on a slice as you could on the original array.
73. Array vs. ArraySlice • Generic types Array<T>, ArraySlice<T> • Not interchangeable 1 func use(array: Array<UInt8>) { 2 /* ... */ 3 } 4 5 func use(array: ArraySlice<UInt8>) { 6 /* ... */ 7 }
