From 39b55c97a120c1f8cdba442839d540b49ed0b473 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: alex60217101990 <33520849+alex60217101990@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 13:11:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf(topdown): optimize bindings allocation with dynamic pre-sizing (#8233) Reduce memory waste in bindings allocation by using compile-time size hints for function evaluation. Before: All bindings pre-allocated 16-slot arrays regardless of usage After: Dynamic sizing based on known argument counts Memory improvements: - 20 bindings: 10.7% less memory, 13.3% faster - 50 bindings: 20.7% less memory, 8.3% faster - Transition cost: 22.4% faster for large binding sets Implementation: - Add newBindingsWithSize() constructor with size hint parameter - Add newBindingsArrayHashmapWithSize() for smart array/map selection - Add childWithBindingSizeHint() method for eval context creation - Apply optimization in evalOneRule() using len(args) as hint Fixes #7266 Signed-off-by: alex60217101990 --- v1/ast/term.go | 14 +- v1/rego/rego_bench_test.go | 41 -- v1/topdown/bindings.go | 91 ++++- v1/topdown/bindings_alloc_bench_test.go | 152 ++++++++ v1/topdown/bindings_test.go | 176 +++++++++ .../comprehension_bindings_bench_test.go | 262 +++++++++++++ .../comprehension_comparison_bench_test.go | 233 +++++++++++ v1/topdown/eval.go | 34 +- v1/topdown/rules_bindings_bench_test.go | 365 ++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 1298 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) create mode 100644 v1/topdown/bindings_alloc_bench_test.go create mode 100644 v1/topdown/comprehension_bindings_bench_test.go create mode 100644 v1/topdown/comprehension_comparison_bench_test.go create mode 100644 v1/topdown/rules_bindings_bench_test.go diff --git a/v1/ast/term.go b/v1/ast/term.go index 45b36696e7..c8a2f27771 100644 --- a/v1/ast/term.go +++ b/v1/ast/term.go @@ -24,6 +24,17 @@ import ( "github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/v1/util" ) +// maxBindingsEstimate is the cap for binding count estimates in comprehensions. +// This value aligns with maxLinearScan in topdown/bindings.go. +const maxBindingsEstimate = 16 + +// EstimateBodyBindingCount returns an estimate of the number of bindings needed +// for evaluating a comprehension body.
