Avoid expensive complaint calls when complaints are disabled
Running perf on "gdb -nx -readnow -batch gdb", I'm seeing a lot of time (24%.75!) spent in gettext, via complaints. 'perf report -g' shows: - 86.23% 0.00% gdb gdb [.] gdb_main - gdb_main - 85.60% catch_command_errors symbol_file_add_main_adapter symbol_file_add_main symbol_file_add_main_1 symbol_file_add - symbol_file_add_with_addrs - 84.31% dw2_expand_all_symtabs - dw2_instantiate_symtab - 83.79% dw2_do_instantiate_symtab - 70.85% process_die - 41.11% dwarf_decode_macros - 41.09% dwarf_decode_macro_bytes - 39.74% dwarf_decode_macro_bytes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> + 24.75% __dcigettext <<<<<<< + 7.37% macro_define_object_internal + 3.16% macro_define_function 0.77% splay_tree_insert + 0.76% savestring + 0.58% free 0.53% read_indirect_string_at_offset_from 0.54% macro_define_object_internal 0.51% macro_start_file + 25.57% process_die + 4.07% dwarf_decode_lines + 4.28% compute_delayed_physnames + 3.85% end_symtab_from_static_block + 3.38% load_cu + 1.29% end_symtab_get_static_block + 0.52% do_my_cleanups + 1.29% read_symbols + 0.54% gdb_init The problem is that we're always computing the arguments to pass to complaint, including passing the format strings through gettext, even when complaints are disabled. As seen above, gettext can be quite expensive. Fix this by wrapping complaint in a macro that skips the real complaint call when complaints are disabled. This improves "gdb -nx -readnow -batch gdb" from ~11.0s => ~7.8s with -O2 -g3, and ~6.0s => ~5.3s with -O2 -g. w/ gcc 5.3.1, on x86_64, for me. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-08 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * complaints.c (stop_whining): Make extern. (complaint): Rename to ... (complaint_internal): ... this. * complaints.h (complaint): Rename to ... (complaint_internal): ... this. (complaint): Reimplement as macro around complaint_internal. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-11-08 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.gdb/complaints.exp (test_initial_complaints) (test_serial_complaints, test_short_complaints): Call complaint_internal instead of complaint.
