[analyzer] Added custom hashing to the CloneDetector.

Details

Summary

The CloneDetector consumes in it's current state to much memory to analyze big code bases such as SQLite.

This patch reintroduces the custom hashing functionality which replaces CloneSignature's large data vectors with fixed size hash codes. This includes an additional check for each clone that prevents that the CloneDetector produces false-positives because of collisions in the hash function.

Hmm. Since you're working with FoldingSetNodeIDs, maybe you could avoid numeric hashes completely in your code, and use FoldingSetNodeIDs themselves as your keys? Just organize the whole clone list as a map from FoldingSetNodeIDs to lists of particular code samples. There would be no collisions at all from the beginning (even if internally the map would hash the FoldingSetNodeIDs to a number and there will be collisions in this hashing, but you wouldn't need to know about them - and there's no performance loss at the same time).

@teemperor: could you summarize what we discussed at the phone meeting today wrt to this patch.

This patch is no longer needed because the CloneDetector from patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D20795 no longer uses custom hashing.

  • Rebased the patch to the newest code base.

This patch is live again as it turned out that the CloneDetector can't handle large code bases without it. The simpler approach that we implemented instead consumed too much memory (e.g. at least 15 GB for analyzing SQLite) because the large data vectors and the quadratic space complexity of the sub-sequence search didn't play together very well.

Considering the refactoring planned in D23418, i've no more comments on the part of the code that isn't rewritten in the subsequent review. I like how the new hashing system is put to work here.

Hmm. FoldingSetNodeIDWrapper? Because in fact we're wrapping neither a set, nor a node, but only an ID.

// end anonymous namespace?

  • Renamed FoldingSetWrapper to FoldingSetNodeIDWrapper
  • Added missing // end anonymous namespace

  • As the hash_stream patch will take a while to land upstream, we will change this to use FoldingSetNodeID and change it to hash_stream once that landed.

LGTM.

Hmm, this still uses hash_stream.

  • Replaced hash_stream with MD5 in the sub-sequence code.
