From 6042d642722549cb191898079ceb620475be835d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:48:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9A=A1=20Bolt:=20Optimize=20AST=20traversal?= =?UTF-8?q?=20performance=20using=20O(1)=20set=20lookups?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 💡 What: Replaced O(n) list membership tests with O(1) set lookups for function names and attributes in the AST visitor. 🎯 Why: `_find_expensive_operations` executes on every node during AST traversal. Looking up items in a list inside a deep tree walk represents a significant performance bottleneck. 📊 Impact: Speeds up the static performance auditing significantly for large codebases by eliminating O(N) operations inside tight loops. 🔬 Measurement: Can be verified by profiling `PerformanceAuditor._find_expensive_operations` on large Python files.
