This sets `lto = "thin"` instead of using "fat" LTO, and sets
`codegen-units = 16`. These are the defaults for Cargo's `release`
profile, and I think it may give us faster iteration times, especially
when benchmarking. The point of this PR is to see what kind of impact
this has on benchmarks. It is expected that benchmarks may regress to
some extent.
I did some quick ad hoc experiments to quantify this change in compile
times. Namely, I ran:
cargo build --profile release -p ruff_cli
Then I ran
touch crates/ruff_python_formatter/src/expression/string/docstring.rs
(because that's where i've been working lately) and re-ran
cargo build --profile release -p ruff_cli
This last command is what I timed, since it reflects how much time one
has to wait between making a change and getting a compiled artifact.
Here are my results:
* With status quo `release` profile, build takes 77s
* with `release` but `lto = "thin"`, build takes 41s
* with `release`, but `lto = false`, build takes 19s
* with `release`, but `lto = false` **and** `codegen-units = 16`, build
takes 7s
* with `release`, but `lto = "thin"` **and** `codegen-units = 16`, build
takes 16s (i believe this is the default `release` configuration)
This PR represents the last option. It's not the fastest to compile, but
it's nearly a whole minute faster! The idea is that with `codegen-units
= 16`, we still make use of parallelism, but keep _some_ level of LTO on
to try and re-gain what we lose by increasing the number of codegen
units.
## Summary
This PR adds a new helper method on the `Cursor` called `eat_char2`
which is similar to `eat_char` but accepts 2 characters instead of 1. It'll
`bump` the cursor twice if both characters are found on lookahead.
## Test Plan
`cargo test`
