I have a couple of patches that shrink the size of the XPT info a bit.
PTTypeDescriptor::argnum2 is unused. Removing it reduces
sizeof(XPTTypeDescriptor) from 6 bytes to 4 bytes, which reduces the
"xpti-working-set" measurement by 80 KiB (measured on 64-bit).

This reduces "xpti-working-set" by another 16 KiB on 64-bit.

Removing it reduces the "xpti-working-set" measurement by 16 KiB (measured on
64-bit).
Attachment #8720645 - Flags: review?(khuey)
This requires merging XPT_DoHeaderPrologue() and XPT_DoHeader(), which is
straightforward.

This reduces "xpti-working-set" by 16 KiB on 64-bit platforms.
Attachment #8721075 - Flags: review?(khuey)
With careful layout we can reduce sizeof(XPTTypeDescriptor) from 4 to 3, which
also reduces sizeof(XPTParamDescriptor) from 6 to 4. This reduces
"xpti-working-set" by 16 KiB.

The union-of-structs also improves readability by making it clearer exactly
which fields are used for which types.
Attachment #8721825 - Flags: review?(khuey)
This patch:

- Removes XPTArena's ability to support any alignment.

- Hardwires two sub-arenas into XPTArena, one with alignment of 8 and one with
  alignment of 1.

- Uses the first sub-arena for most allocations and the second sub-arena for C
  string allocations.

These changes reduce "xpti-working-set" by 56 KiB.

The patch also removes the XPT_MALLOC macro in favour of an XPT_CALLOC one, to
make clearer that the result is always zeroed.

(A tweaked version of the previous patch.)

PTInterfaceDescriptor::num_additional_types can easily fit in 8 bits -- in
practice it doesn't exceed 20, and there's already a check in DoTypeDescriptor
that it doesn't exceed 255. This patch shrinks it and moves that check into
XPT_InterfaceDescriptorAddTypes() so that any overflow would be detected more
reliably.

On 64-bit platforms this reduces sizeof(XPTInterfaceDescriptor) from 40 to 32
and correspondingly reduces "xpti-working-set" by 16 KiB.

The patch also changes XPT_InterfaceDescriptorAddTypes() into a local function,
because it's defined and only used in xpt_struct.cpp.
Attachment #8721871 - Flags: review?(khuey)
The eight patches reduce "xpti-working-set" (on 64-bit platforms) from 1184 KiB to 968 KiB -- a reduction of 216 KiB -- and I'm out of ideas for now.
(I tweaked a comment.)

I measured on 32-bit as well: 936 KiB drops to 776 KiB, a 160 KiB reduction.

Whoops. That was meant to be part of bug 1248534, which blocks this one, but I got the bug number wrong. No matter, I'll rename the part 7 above ("Avoid wasted space around XPT strings") to 7.5 to avoid further confusion.
