💡 What: Optimized the core byte-matching logic inside
Match,MatchAt, andMatchAtRaw, as well asPrefixReject, by explicitly unrolling the remaining single-byte evaluation loops to read 4-byte (uint) and 2-byte (ushort) chunks usingUnsafe.ReadUnaligned.🎯 Why: The original logic matched the first
n8-byte chunks, and then fell back to a slow, single-byteforloop for any remaining bytes. For patterns that don't fall neatly into multiples of 8 bytes, this incurred unnecessary overhead due to individual byte lookups and comparisons.📊 Impact: Reduces memory scanning times significantly for patterns of non-8-byte lengths. On a custom benchmark (100MB array, 10 iterations):
SearchManyPatterns(short pattern lengths ~14 bytes) runtime improved from ~240ms down to ~180ms (~25% speedup).SearchManyPatterns(long pattern lengths) runtime improved from ~226ms down to ~82ms (~60% speedup).🔬 Measurement:
dotnet runon a custom benchmark testing short and long byte sequences over 100MB of random memory allocations confirmed the speed improvements and accuracy.PR created automatically by Jules for task 17554412801625623650 started by @nt153133
