Summary

Looking at memory footprint of unity build of RawSpeed library
(-O3 -g0 -emit-llvm -Xclang -disable-llvm-optzns),
surprisingly AttrBuilder is top-1 in memory allocations,
which is not that surprising since it's a std::map<std::string, std::string>

Let's see what is the baseline memory footprint,
and what happens with just StringMap<std::string>/StringMap<SmallString<N>>:

$ heaptrack_print heaptrack.clang++.baseline.gz | tail -n 6 ; heaptrack_print heaptrack.clang++.proposed.gz | tail -n 6
total runtime: 11.76s.
calls to allocation functions: 2951292 (250981/s)
temporary memory allocations: 608175 (51719/s)
peak heap memory consumption: 231.36MB
peak RSS (including heaptrack overhead): 399.31MB
total memory leaked: 204.39MB

Migrating std::map<std::string, std::string> to StringMap<SmallString<16>> improves things:

total runtime: 11.33s.
calls to allocation functions: 2684647 (236908/s)
temporary memory allocations: 643713 (56804/s)
peak heap memory consumption: 231.44MB
peak RSS (including heaptrack overhead): 397.13MB
total memory leaked: 204.47MB

$ heaptrack_print -d heaptrack.clang++.baseline.gz heaptrack.clang++.proposed.gz | tail -n 6
total runtime: -0.43s.                            # -3.66 %
calls to allocation functions: -266645 (624461/s) # -9.03 % (!)
temporary memory allocations: 35538 (-83227/s)    # +5.84 % (:/)
peak heap memory consumption: 81.71KB
peak RSS (including heaptrack overhead): 0B
total memory leaked: 81.71KB

Actually ensure that check-llvm/check-clang passes.
Doesn't have any significant impact on results.

I'm a bit confused that SmallString gives an improvement in the number of allocations. All modern standard libraries implement std::string with SSO, so std::string should behave identically to SmallString<16>. What standard library did you test this with?

I don't think this is used anywhere. Can we just delete it?

Just sorting the string attributes would be sufficient. Sorting attributes is expensive.

Sort only string attributes.
@nikic how about this one?

I'm on debian sid, so there's really nothing weird going on here.

All modern standard libraries implement std::string with SSO, so std::string should behave identically to SmallString<16>.

I see:

      enum { _S_local_capacity = 15 / sizeof(_CharT) };

      union
      {
	_CharT           _M_local_buf[_S_local_capacity + 1];
	size_type        _M_allocated_capacity;
      };

So i would say it's one char less.
Also, here

static_assert(sizeof(SmallString<16>) == 40);
static_assert(sizeof(std::string) == 32);

which means that given same buffer size, we'll fit less SmallStrings in it,
causing new allocation sooner. How does StringMap grow?
I'd guess by consuming memory more aggressively, we end up growing less times.
At least that would be my guess.

Right.

Hm, that doesn't do it.
