wmlscope is much slower since 1.14?<br> <br> My 1.12 wmlscope run from the GUI (includes core as well as whatever you choose) generally takes about 30 seconds with no extras picked.<br> <br> 1.14/16 it takes 10 times as long! 5 minutes.<br> <br> Is it just me? I have to confess that it might be, just possibly. 1.12 is a debian installed package while 1.14+ is all flatpak (since 1.12.6 is the very newest as far as debian 9 (yes I know there's 10, I'll risk upgrading when I'm forced to) is concerned hehe) but surely the directoryies they are in is the only real difference for the core files... I really doubt that could be it unless wmlscope has some kind of hang up with the length of the pathname (the flatpaks tend to be in a longer path)...<br> <br> Anyways, just airing my discontent and curious if anyone else has can relate...</div> <div id="sig671328" class="signature">-- <br> <a href="viewtopic.php?p=662182#p662182" class="postlink">Lonely Era</a> <a href="viewtopic.php?p=662897#p662897" class="postlink">Merry Christmas Campaign</a> <a href="viewtopic.php?p=663269#p663269" class="postlink">Red MP Maps</a> <a href="viewtopic.php?p=665210#p665210" class="postlink">Everfell</a> <a href="viewtopic.php?p=665296#p665296" class="postlink">Age of Trials</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p671436" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile671436"> <dt class="no-profile-rank has-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=118285&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979" class="avatar"><img class="avatar" src="./../download/file.php?avatar=118285_1252075591.png" width="72" height="72" alt="User avatar" /></a> </div> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=118285&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979" style="color: #DD5500;" class="username-coloured">Elvish_Hunter</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./../search.php?author_id=118285&sr=posts&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979">1596</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> September 4th, 2009, 2:39 pm</dd> <dd class="profile-custom-field profile-phpbb_location"><strong>Location:</strong> Lintanir Forest...</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content671436"> <h3 > <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=671436&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671436">Re: wmlscope is sooooo slow</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=quote&p=671436&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./../viewtopic.php?p=671436&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671436" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=118285&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979" style="color: #DD5500;" class="username-coloured">Elvish_Hunter</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2022-02-07T21:24:35+00:00">February 7th, 2022, 9:24 pm</time> </p> <div class="content"><strong class="text-strong"><span style="color:#008000">Moved into the Coder's Corner.</span></strong><br> There are a lot of possible reasons for this slowness. I must admit that I haven't been running the 1.12 version for a long time, so I don't have a reference about this.<br> First of all, one of the reasons is that we have more content in mainline: more macros, more images and more units mean more things that wmlscope needs to keep track of, which makes it slower. There isn't much we can do, except cutting content from mainline - but nobody wants to do that, right?<br> The second reason is directly depending on the porting to Python 3: one of the things that went lost was Python's <code class="inline-code">cmp()</code> function, and to have a certain part of the code correctly sorting items, I had to use the <code class="inline-code">total_ordering</code> module, which is slower than writing all the six comparison functions by hand (although it didn't seem really slower to me).<br> The third reason depends on the square braces notation that we use now to define animations: when things were simpler, each image path could point only to a specific file. This isn't the case any more: a path can now point to several sprites and I had to actually write in Python the square braces expansion code, because the checks for missing files had become useless.<br> And then I also had to add other features, like support for optional macro arguments (back then we didn't have them!), detection of deprecated macros (which I'm thinking to use to output a warning when a call to them is found)...<br> So, you get the idea. wmlscope back then was faster because it didn't had to handle several features that are part of current WML and also because it wasn't very much maintained. Can it be made faster? Probably yes, but it isn't easy to do so.</div> <div id="sig671436" class="signature">Current maintainer of these add-ons, all on 1.16:<br> <a href="http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26670" class="postlink">The Sojournings of Grog</a>, <a href="http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14241" class="postlink">Children of Dragons</a>, <a href="http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21718" class="postlink">A Rough Life</a>, <a href="http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=28320" class="postlink">Wesnoth Lua Pack</a>, <a href="http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=38828" class="postlink">The White Troll</a> (co-author)</div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p671438" class="post has-profile bg2"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile671438"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=122117&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979" class="username">gnombat</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./../search.php?author_id=122117&sr=posts&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979">826</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> June 10th, 2010, 8:49 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content671438"> <h3 > <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=671438&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671438">Re: wmlscope is sooooo slow</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=quote&p=671438&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./../viewtopic.php?p=671438&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671438" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=122117&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979" class="username">gnombat</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2022-02-08T02:28:40+00:00">February 8th, 2022, 2:28 am</time> </p> <div class="content"><blockquote cite="./../viewtopic.php?p=671328&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671328"><div><cite><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=180204&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979">Atreides</a> wrote: <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=671328&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671328" data-post-id="671328" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">February 1st, 2022, 9:20 pm</span></cite> debian 9 (yes I know there's 10, I'll risk upgrading when I'm forced to) </div></blockquote> There's also Debian 11 now too.<br> <br> I think just upgrading to Debian 10 or 11 would probably improve performance. <a href="https://packages.debian.org/stretch/python3" class="postlink">Debian 9 has a version of Python 3 that is several years old (Python 3.5)</a> and, as a general rule, early versions of Python 3 were incredibly slow.

For multithreading the situation is even worse because of the GIL (global interpreter lock), which makes sure that all the Python code runs only one thread at any given time; since our Python scripts already seem to take one whole core for their computations, there wouldn't be any benefit. <blockquote cite="./../viewtopic.php?p=671553&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671553"><div><cite><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=180204&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979">Atreides</a> wrote: <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=671553&sid=16042f61591e77357eaed57376760979#p671553" data-post-id="671553" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">February 13th, 2022, 4:17 pm</span></cite> Oh, I should mention that I tried the command line (finally learned about those weird symbolic links - we never had those in MS-DOS) version of wmlscope and while the gui version takes 300 seconds to scan core plus a addon the command line set to scan the same takes about 80 seconds. </div></blockquote> It's surprising and yet it isn't at the same time. I mean, if you think about it, when using Tkinter Python needs to call an interpreter of another language, which is Tcl/Tk.
