From 74bee0e69de779822e9be9fff2a752319a1eaf15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "codeflash-ai[bot]" <148906541+codeflash-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 00:58:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _build_code_strings_for_language MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This optimization achieves a **27% runtime improvement** (51.7ms → 40.4ms) by eliminating redundant work in path resolution and regex compilation—two operations that were consuming over 70% of the original runtime. **Key optimizations:** 1. **Precompiled regex pattern** (`_RE_JAVADOC`): The original code imported `re` and compiled the Javadoc pattern on every call to `_strip_javadoc_comments`. By moving the regex compilation to module scope, we eliminate repeated compilation overhead. Line profiler shows this function dropping from 444ns to 22ns per call—a ~20× improvement. 2. **Cached path resolution**: The original code called `.resolve()` repeatedly inside the helper loop (line taking 70.9% of total time). The optimization resolves `project_root_path` once upfront and reuses `project_root_resolved` throughout. For helpers, it now resolves each `file_path` once and reuses `helper_file_resolved`, avoiding 1,208+ redundant resolve operations per invocation. 3. **Hoisted target file resolution**: Similar to the project root, the target file path is resolved once and stored in `target_file_resolved`, eliminating duplicate work when computing `target_relative_path`. 4. **List comprehensions in joins**: Changed generator expressions to list comprehensions in `"\n\n".join()` calls. While this has minimal performance impact for small collections, it can improve performance for larger helper lists by avoiding iterator overhead. **Why this matters:** - Path resolution involves filesystem syscalls and is expensive—the profiler shows the original helper loop spending 125ms on path operations alone - The optimization is particularly effective for the large-scale test case (1000 helpers), which sees a **39.4% speedup** (32.3ms → 23.1ms) - Tests with Javadoc stripping also benefit significantly (15.2% faster), as regex compilation overhead is eliminated - The cross-file helpers test improves by 9.83% due to reduced path resolution overhead **Trade-offs:** Minor increases in some small test cases (1-4% slower) are within measurement noise and acceptable given the substantial gains in realistic workloads with multiple helpers and path operations. --- codeflash/context/code_context_extractor.py | 43 ++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/codeflash/context/code_context_extractor.py b/codeflash/context/code_context_extractor.py index 72c6d51c3..3d067b9f1 100644 --- a/codeflash/context/code_context_extractor.py +++ b/codeflash/context/code_context_extractor.py @@ -32,6 +32,7 @@ FunctionSource, ) from codeflash.optimization.function_context import belongs_to_function_qualified +import re if TYPE_CHECKING: from jedi.api.classes import Name @@ -40,6 +41,8 @@ from codeflash.context.unused_definition_remover import UsageInfo from codeflash.languages.base import HelperFunction +_RE_JAVADOC = re.compile(r"/\*\*.*?\*/\s*", re.DOTALL) + def build_testgen_context( helpers_of_fto_dict: dict[Path, set[FunctionSource]], @@ -213,9 +216,7 @@ def _strip_javadoc_comments(source: str) -> str: Preserves single-line comments (//) and regular block comments (/* ... */).
