Event TimelineComment Actions The change looks good to me. And based on the scope of D121685 it should be sufficient. Do you have any ideas for testing? If it would require significant testing infrastructure work, we can do that separately. But if you have some simple testing ideas in mind, that would be worth adding. Comment Actions We could invoke clang with the -stats option and compare the result against the expected number of stat calls. Comment Actions The -stats-file= option only tells you how many times Clang requested DirectoryEntry object from FileManager (i.e. calling FileManager::getDirectory(StringRef)). This function only touches the real file system once and caches information internally. Checking this doesn't really help us catch regressions like this one. It's a cheap operation and it's pretty common and reasonable for this number to change between commits. What's actually expensive about this regression is calling HeaderSearch::loadSubdirectoryModuleMaps(DirectoryLookup &) multiple times, since Dir.haveSearchedAllModuleMaps() never changes (we only mutate the local DirectoryLookup copy). That function accesses the real filesystem via LLVM's VFS and that is actually the expensive operation: llvm::vfs::FileSystem &FS = FileMgr.getVirtualFileSystem(); for (llvm::vfs::directory_iterator Dir = FS.dir_begin(DirNative, EC), DirEnd; Dir != DirEnd && !EC; Dir.increment(EC)) { // } It would be nice to have statistics for these as well, but we don't have any infrastructure for that ATM.
