<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Are you guys still working on this? This review has not had an update in almost 2 years, maybe it would make sense to discard it for the sake of keeping reviewboard clean?</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">rxx_allocator was according to my measurements done with kcachegrind, valgrind, duchainify and iostream. The allocator had three basic defects:
1) all allocated memory was deallocated whilst we need a lot of rxx_allocators (1 per file i presume?), so these blocks can be reused
2) it cleared the memory on a per block basis, but if not all of the block is used, then that is a waste of effort
3) it used realloc to manage the list of blocks, this isn't too bad but could cause a move of the list which is totaly unnecessary
i solved the problems mostly by making the blocks act as linked list nodes: a next pointer + a really long char array. deallocated blocks are kept in a static linked list, whilst actual rxx_allocators have their own(personal some would say)linked list of blocks. access to the deallocated blocks list is synchronized through a static QMutex.
the access could be threadsafe by using a thread local linked list of deallocated items too, but i don't think that'd be practical, the global static list is probably more effective (eventhough it requires locking) </pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">as mentioned i ran a file which only included iostream through duchainify which i callgrinded.
old: new:
pool::allocate ~450 000 000 ~7 000 000
all time spend in libkdev4cppparser:
~585 000 000 ~140 000 000
the pool::allocate numbers are both the 'inclusive' numbers
looking at the data for the amount of "operator new" calls I can see that the cost per call are pretty much the same but that the old implementation called it about 50x more.</pre>
