From 0db99f4e409b05c109cffac26c15dd641757a3ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Satoshi Is Here <39875249+SatoshiIsHere@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 19:56:00 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] core/types: reduce allocations in tx.EffectiveGasTip (#31598) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This PR introduces an allocation-free version of the Transaction.EffectiveGasTip method to improve performance by reducing memory allocations. ## Changes - Added a new `EffectiveGasTipInto` method that accepts a destination parameter to avoid memory allocations - Refactored the existing `EffectiveGasTip` method to use the new allocation-free implementation - Updated related methods (`EffectiveGasTipValue`, `EffectiveGasTipCmp`, `EffectiveGasTipIntCmp`) to use the allocation-free approach - Added tests and benchmarks to verify correctness and measure performance improvements ## Motivation In high-transaction-volume environments, the `EffectiveGasTip` method is called frequently. Reducing memory allocations in this method decreases garbage collection pressure and improves overall system performance. ## Benchmark Results As-Is BenchmarkEffectiveGasTip/Original-10 42089140 27.45 ns/op 8 B/op 1 allocs/op To-Be BenchmarkEffectiveGasTip/IntoMethod-10 72353263 16.73 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op ## Summary of Improvements - **Performance**: ~39% faster execution (27.45 ns/op → 16.73 ns/op) - **Memory**: Eliminated all allocations (8 B/op → 0 B/op) - **Allocation count**: Reduced from 1 to 0 allocations per operation This optimization follows the same pattern successfully applied to other methods in the codebase, maintaining API compatibility while improving performance. ## Safety & Compatibility This optimization has no side effects or adverse impacts because: - It maintains functional equivalence as confirmed by comprehensive tests - It preserves API compatibility with existing callers - It follows clear memory ownership patterns with the destination parameter - It maintains thread safety by only modifying the caller-provided destination parameter This optimization follows the same pattern successfully applied to other methods in the codebase, providing better performance without compromising stability or correctness. --------- Co-authored-by: lightclient --- core/types/transaction.go | 41 ++++++++------ core/types/transaction_test.go | 99 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ eth/tracers/js/goja.go | 3 +- 3 files changed, 126 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/core/types/transaction.go b/core/types/transaction.go index a2f4104635..934feb7353 100644 --- a/core/types/transaction.go +++ b/core/types/transaction.go @@ -355,28 +355,31 @@ func (tx *Transaction) GasTipCapIntCmp(other *big.Int) int { // Note: if the effective gasTipCap is negative, this method returns both error // the actual negative value, _and_ ErrGasFeeCapTooLow func (tx *Transaction) EffectiveGasTip(baseFee *big.Int) (*big.Int, error) { + dst := new(big.Int) + err := tx.calcEffectiveGasTip(dst, baseFee) + return dst, err +} + +// calcEffectiveGasTip calculates the effective gas tip of the transaction and +// saves the result to dst. +func (tx *Transaction) calcEffectiveGasTip(dst *big.Int, baseFee *big.Int) error { if baseFee == nil { -
