A page can fail to allocate during attribute creation; this case was not
previously handled.

When removing a node or attribute, we know that the parent has at least one
node/attribute so a null pointer check is redundant.

If the requested evaluation mode is not _all, we can use this mode for the
last predicate/filter expression and exit early.

Using pointers instead of node/attribute objects allows us to use knowledge
about the tree to guarantee that pointers are not null. This results in
less null checks (10-20% speedup with optimizations enabled) and less
function calls (5x speedup with optimizations disabled).

This should never happen but can improve debugging experience for
work-in-progress changes since that avoids memcpy() into negative memory
space (debugger can't backtrace from failed memcpy since it does not set
up the stack frame).

Some steps relied on step_push rejecting null inputs; this is no longer
the case. Additionally stepping now more rigorously filters null inputs.

Sometimes when evaluating the node set we don't need the entire set and
only need the first element in docorder or any element. In the absence of
iterator support we can still use this information to short-circuit
traversals.
This does not have any effect on straightforward node collection queries,
but frequently improves performance of complex queries with predicates
etc. XMark benchmark gets 15x faster with some queries enjoying 100x
speedup on 10 Mb dataset due to a significant complexity improvement.

Add documentation for xpath_query::evaluate_node and change
select_single_node to select_node in documentation and samples.

select_node is shorter and mistyping nodes as node or vice versa should
not lead to any issues since return types are substantially different.
select_single_node method still works and will be deprecated with an
attribute and removed at some point.

This method is equivalent to xml_node::select_single_node. This makes
select_single_node faster in certain cases by avoiding an allocation and -
more importantly - paves the way for future step optimizations.

Use descendant-or-self::node() transformation for self, descendant and
descendant-or-self axis. Self axis should be semi-frequent; descendant
axes should not really be used with // but if they ever are the complexity
of the step becomes quadratic so it's better to optimize this if possible.

CLR x64 JIT does not implement ceil() properly (ceil(-0.1) returns
positive zero instead of negative zero). Disable the relevant portions of

When looking for an attribute by name, finding the first attribute means
we can stop looking since attribute names are unique. This makes some
queries faster by 40%.
Another very common pattern in XPath queries is finding an attribute with
a specified value using a predicate (@name = 'value'). While we perform an
optimal amount of traversal in that case, there is a substantial overhead
with evaluating the nodes, saving and restoring the stack state, pushing
the attribute node into a set, etc. Detecting this pattern allows us to
use optimized code, resulting in up to 2x speedup for some queries.

The actual condition for the optimization is invariance from context list
-- this includes both position() and last().
Instead of splitting the posinv concept just include last() into
non-posinv expressions - this requires sorting for boolean predicates that
depend on last() and do not depend on position(). These cases should be
very rare.

Comment value can not contain the string "--" or end with "-". Since
comments do not support escaping, we're handling this by adding an extra
space after the first "-". A string of "-" thus turns into "- - - ...".

All ad-hoc attribute operations are now implemented as explicit low-level
functions, and xml_node just uses them. Additionally extract commonly used
is_attribute_of and move detaching of node from append_node to remove_node
- append_node now only works on detached nodes (small increase in parsing
performance).

When xpath_string is heap-allocated we always know the length of the
string at some point - it is now stored in the object. This reduces
redundant string length calculations and makes string_value() much faster
in case it has to concatenate strings.

translate() with constant arguments now uses a 128-byte table and a table
lookup instead of searching characters in the source string. The table is
generated during query optimization.

Node ancestor search now terminates early if ancestor is found before the
document root (only happens if nodes were at the same depth).
Sibling search now steps synchronously for left and right nodes to avoid
worst-case performance when we go in the wrong direction and have to scan
a big list (this comes at the cost of average performance since in the
best case we do 2x more operations).
Node comparison is now done using node pointers to elide some null
comparisons since the structure of the search guarantees that they are
handled properly.
All of the above results in ~2x faster document order comparison on
complex documents.

XPath evaluation frequently produces sequences that are sorted but are not
tagged as such (area for improvement...). Doing a linear scan before
sorting is cheap and results in tremendous speedup for already sorted
sequences (especially if document_buffer_order optimization does not
apply).

While gcc and clang can eliminate dependency on s in the inner loop of
PUGI__SCANWHILE_UNROLL, MSVC emits a series of register increments.
Rewriting the code to explicitly remove the dependency keeps similar
codegen on gcc/clang but improves codegen on MSVC for a 10% performance
boost.
Also use unrolled scanning in text_output_escaped (2% faster).

The page no longer contains 'data' field to use sizeof everywhere instead
of offsetof/sizeof inconsistency (that is required because some compilers
don't recognize offsetof as compile-time constant).
The page no longer contains 'memory' field that is now encoded as an
offset byte before the page - this allows us to save one pointer from the
static page in the document to keep the size the same as in v1.2 (binary
compatibility).

Use the same flag that is used for marking name/value in nodes/attributes
as shared. This reduces document structure size and makes some amount of
sense (although admittedly is a bit of a hack).
We need to bring document _memory size back down to 192 bytes and this is
the first step.

xml_node objects carry an overhead since they perform NULL checks - in
case of copying a hierarchy we know that we only traverse valid nodes so
we don't need to do this. This makes copyless copy 16% faster.

This bypasses the allow_insert check (which is redundant for copying since
we're mirroring an existing node structure that must be valid) and does
not cause an extra allocation for new declaration nodes. Overall results
in 15% faster copying,

Moving nodes results in node order being different from order of allocated
names/values; since move is O(1) we can't mark the moved nodes in a
subtree so we have to disable the optimization for the entire document.
Similarly, if a node is composed of multiple buffers, comparing nodes in
different buffers does not result in meaningful order.
Since we value correctness over performance, mark the entire document in
these cases to disable sorting optimization.
git-svn-id: https://pugixml.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1034 99668b35-9821-0410-8761-19e4c4f06640
Now copying nodes or attributes does not copy names/values if the source
strings are in a document buffer. As a result, several nodes can now share
the same string in document buffer - to support this we 'taint' both
source and destination with a special 'shared' bit.
Tainting disables offset_debug() and fast-path document order comparison;
it also prevents strcpy_insitu from reusing the document buffer memory for
the copied node.
The downsides include slower XPath queries in some (rare) cases and
slightly higher memory consumption in some (rare) cases.
XPath queries can execute slower if a lot of old nodes were copied to new
nodes *and* a query only touches old nodes (so it used to benefit a lot
from fast comparison path) *and* a query produces unsorted node sets that
need to be sorted later (both are relatively rare).
Higher memory consumption is possible if a lot of nodes were copied and
all nodes (both new and old) have their contents modified 'in place' --
previously we could modify the old node in place and the new node required
one allocation on copy, and now both nodes have to have their data
allocated during modification. This should also be rare.
On the bright side, in a lot of cases copying of string data can be
avoided - this makes the copy much faster and the document now occupies
less memory. For example, some uses of append_buffer are now actually slower
compared to building up a document by copying a template from the same
document and modifying the copy slightly.
In one of the internal benchmarks copying is now 4x faster (the difference
can be more dramatic with more string contents and less markup).
