performance improvements
Could you fix formatting, otherwise it's impossible to analyze the diff with so many changes. Thanks.
I have fixed the formatting.
The performance consists in:
- using operations directly to the char arrays instead of using
String; - some operations (like computing the
validChars,guardsRegExp,sepsRegExp, regexp pattern) are precomputed and cached; - usage of StringBuilder instead of operating with strings (see
StringBuilder buffer,ret_strB,StringBuilder hash, etc.); - adding a helper class (
CharUtils) for working with char arrays.
About the performance: I have gained about 100-200 ms for running all the tests (it is at least 20% more efficient).
About breaking this pull request in smaller pieces: I can't do this because the most part of it is related to the migration from String to char[]. I may extract the constants and the validation method but it will not help much reviewing the code (because those changes are only a couple of lines).
@cazacugmihai what do you think about creating a branch and work on a new version? @gabrielhora you are invited to this discussion. I'll create an issue to work on that.
